MSQ Needs Further Condensing

[Tuska]

Cash shop noise

We aren't talking about cash shop items are we? We're talking about pruning/making the story non mandatory. If you would like to discuss that feel free to let me know.

If you don't do quests you aren't playing the game

Spamming through quests is not "playing through the game" a person still has to go from lvl 1 to max level, that is playing through the game. Regardless of if it's spamming through quests, mob grinding or dungeon grinding getting to max level is playing through the game.

BDO has very little story, people still go from lvl 1 to past soft level cap which takes longer than anything in this game, with only doing a few quests max. Did they not play through the game? Is that game not a mmo? How do you guys think people are playing other mmos with optional story? That are all doing better than XIV player base wise?

Making it optional does not hurt anyone, at all or else every other mmo on the market would be dead and gone. The amount of MSQ had to be a problem, hence them removing some of it, one thing businesses will not do is extra work if it doesn't benefit them at all. The retention rate had to be horrible and the feedback had to reflect too many MSQ to get caught up.


Also most people know they will have to catch up is one thing to gate them with story (long ques if dps which is out of their control) and another to gate with actual progression which is what most people play mmos for...progression.
