I'm playing through with a newbie friend right now and I don't have any problems syncing down my level 80 DRK to help them out with duties and FATEs. You don't need an alt to do content with a friend, and if you did want to do content at the same time, I'm not sure why you'd want to skip the MSQ...? The MSQ would be what keeps you at equal levels.

You're losin' me here, man.
There's a difference between synching down to do a FATE on your 80's or whatever else like a dungeon and helping someone get to semi relevant content like gazelleskin/dragonskin maps. Or even helping them level their crafts up with leves. They can grind them out but have to rely on the marketboard to get the items, or other friends to farm materials that have access to later areas. That isn't a "HUGE" issue with crafting, but wanting to do something other than some fates in northern Thanalan or some similar area, is not a bad thing to want to do.



No, no. Igeyorhm was destroyed by Auractie and Lahabrea by primal.
Well ok then. Back to the meat of my point, there is no denying a very large portion of the plot point about white auricite is 100% filler time waste. I haven't read a developer say "this is time waste", but I have read some one who quoted them saying they literally made some of these quests to keep people busy during the down time between 2.0 and 3.0 with a goal of 15 minutes per quest. Which is basically saying "we made these quests in a way to keep you busy and paying your subscription". I'll pay my subscription and play the game if I'm having fun. I don't generally have fun doing laps around a map wondering if I'm being kept busy on purpose. I find enjoyment in the other filler content, like housing tho. That's 100% filler, and it's not "bad". Needs some help, but not in the actual house department. The Getting a house/ supply/and decorating process needs help. Floating/etc that is what could be trimmed from the experience.
