New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[Penthea]

the only thing that would change for you, in my version, is there would be an npc that you could talk to to unlock all content if you choose.

So basically you want SE to present two versions of the game to players? Yea good luck convincing them that this is worth their time and money when the majority of the playerbase are fine with the msq being central to the game.

Really if your solution is to have another version of the game...maybe you should just play another game seeing as the current version of this one clearly isn't what you want.

Are you saying inspite of loving the msq so much, you wouldnt do it if you didnt have to? interesting

Where are you getting that from? Nowhere did I say I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to. I even said to you several pages ago that I often reread and rewatch the msq on my alts on parts I have forgotten or parts I recall enjoying. Are you now resorting to putting words into my mouth to support your argument? Lol?

EDIT: it occurs to me you perhaps say this under assumption of how I would feel about the msq under your proposed version of FFXIV. I would still do it if the experience was identical to how it is now.

That being said I'm not sure if I could continue playing if SE decided to step in the direction of granting players the option to skip so much content for free. I don't particularly want to play a game in which the devs dramatically cut down on what you must do to earn something. Blizzard did that to WoW and replaced a lot of hard work with rng...and well look at how far down the mighty king has fallen.
