why i quit before reaching endgame (feedback from a new player)

[SerLuke]

I for one want this game to stick around and attracting new players is key.

It is attracting a lot of new players who love the story, FFXIV doesn't have to have every single WoW refugee join for it to be successful and continue/

If my previous reply has already been quoted for a reply, so be it. But alas, I'm tired of trying to talk with unreasonable people. Enjoy the edit

We're unreasonable? got it!

Unreasonable is resorting to strawmen, exaggerations and annoying otters when you have absolutely nothing else to counter with.

and? you wanted content lore you have it you complain? wow // eso player much ? you should have just taken the free trial first *wink wink* dont come to another mmo expecting it to be the same junkyard you fled from. why do you think Se is still thriving as the top mmo retailer? because they ahve 30 years of experience at keeping their player base happy and doing the best they can to make lore//combat// raid and casual happy. tho lately casual or eso wow quitter come to ff14 hoping to find exactly what they fled from

These otter pictures are giving me life, thank you. :3

I think it'd be a good idea to prune the msq (particularly the ARR patch content - and ARR in general should be their focus as HW and SB were not nearly as painful) to streamline the experience for new players, as well as maybe providing a mog station credit as a bonus for purchasing the game during a certain period before/after new expansion drop so newbies can pick up a skip pot if they want (or spend it on fantasias, whatever - it's a good way to advertise the mog station to new players either way). And they need to do something about Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium (making them solo duties with an 8 man trial at the end of each one would probably make the most sense, but either way those two are still a pain point and probably should be fixed).

IMO the story is good and I don't think it needs the drastic changes some are suggesting, but the questing experience could certainly use some streamlining.

You are most welcome =D

And I think this is a much more reasonable request, drastic changes would break and ruin the experience for many.
