GO BACK TO WOW.
Thank you for completely misunderstanding the situation and for your continued gatekeeping? It's not difficult to see why more recent additions to the game interest people. Classes like Reaper and Sage start at level 70, not level 1, gear with sufficient texture quality and non-comical design doesn't really start making it into the game consistently until about level 80, aside from a few exceptions from Heavensward. People also simply just would rather fight dragons than run errands for Minfilia, or want to experience a different plot that has nothing to do with the Hydaelyn or Zodiark era.

Who are you to tell these people they are in the wrong? Once more I will remind the story enthusiasts: you lose nothing from others having the option to begin playing wherever they see fit without having to buy a boost on top of the price of the game.
