I'm defs one of those players that was curious why my MSQ quest marker was red and upon finding out (through Google and not through any of the in game material), that I have to regress to an ARR raid due to a dev thinking it'd be a "cool call back", instead of making it just a side quest thing that players invested in the story want, got tilted and groaned "Oh god, more to do!..." Unfortunately, (bad game dev design aside) I now have to queue up for a Duty Roulette, I considered just Party Finding an undersized, non-synced party, but unfortunately, Atomos requires multiple people and can't be 3-manned.

I frankly could care less about the story at this point. I had high hopes for "Weaboo Adventures" (Stormblood), but instead got a garbled back and forth mess that could have used more time, clarity and a different path than was taken. But I was fine, I thought I could just plow through ShB and get to End Game content with my FC, now I have to find a time that a majority of them are on, in order to do content because "this will be a cool callback", or chill in queue while watching the new end game Extremes on Youtube.

So, just like how every Mentor mentions to the party to look up the current fight on YT, can we get the general player base to remind fresh 50's to do LotA to avoid further groans and moans, or at least have devs make it mandatory at 50 cause "Oh cool, 24 people? That's new!".
