Stop The MSQ Gate Cash Grab

[Pintsized]

It's now clear that the MSQ gating of expansions has nothing to do with 'story integrity' and everything to do with pushing 'boosts'.

There is absolutely no reason why someone couldn't CHOOSE to skip old and in good part obsolete content and dive straight into the latest expansion .. there are clearly many way to level a job to the required level .. so SE's locking of content is simply there to coerce new/returning players to pay cash to be able to get into the current content.

Stop it SE, just stop it.

it existed before the boosts ARR into Heavensward.
you are paranoid and most likely a troll.

Yeah I'm gonna treat this thread as bait and troll.

OP maybe should play a different game that offers that type of skip.

It's a story-driven game and they want you to do the story. The boost costing money is meant to deter you from getting it, but to still give you the option if you really want it that much.

The content isn't obsolete. People still do it every day in roulettes and if you want to understand what is happening in the story of ShB you absolutely have to know what happened in the content from before.

On top of that you only have to do the msq once. This isn't like most other mmos in which you must start a new character to experience new classes. You can be every class on one character in this game.

Nice try tho.

Its not a cash grab.

And the story *is* the content in the new expac. Trials and dungeons flow from it. Raids, too. What MMO lets you just buy the expac and immediately enter dungeons in 5 minutes? They're all content locked somehow.

But but... gotta get to that end game

Looking at his stats i don't think it's bait, just a fella with a really...eh...brain lacking opinion.

as someone who used the lvl and story skip i feel i should comment. Players aren't required to use these items if they want to play though the game they are really meant for if your friends want to join you in the current expansion with out needing to play catch up. Also they are useful if you have an alt on a different world and don't want to drag ya self though old content as someone who has 8+ alts it would be a pain
