New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[Vahlnir]

so, if they actually do decide to let new players opt out of old msq in shadow bringers, will you be upset?

I don't really see the issue with it as jump potions and story skips do this already, not to mention the people who don't care about the story skip cutscenes and the like anyway. Allowing people to essentially skip parts of the story without a pay wall wouldn't be making FF XIV like WoW. It'd just let people who would probably pay to skip anyway do so more on their terms, maybe without the free gear and achievements. I just don't see them changing how the system currently works anytime soon.
