Please consider scaling back the "time-gating" on some older content

[ZephyrMenodora]

I got bored by level 63 in the Stormblood expansion (before meeting my now favorite character Hien) and quit until Shadowbringers was released. I begrudgingly resumed Stormblood (ended up loving it by Prelude in Violet - the Eastern storyline was way more interesting to me than Gyr Abania) and finished Shadowbringers and left during 5.1 to play other games.

I'm presently on my longest sub-spree in my history of playing FFXIV since 2014, and finished restoring the Doman Enclave in 2022. I actually love the time-gating here. I feel like I made an impact over a long period of time, which for my WoL's story as wanting to heavily support Doma worked really well for me. Also they are completely rebuilding and that takes time. None of the storytelling felt outdated or out of place during the Enclave storyline either. (Unlike other storylines like job quests that are far more stuck in their "era" and force you to pretend you moved back in time for them to make sense if you are already past that expansion).

I'm not really into custom deliveries or most of the Beast Tribes so I have no opinion there, but I'm still of the mindset that I don't need immediate gratification for everything.

Not everything has to be done super fast. ESPECIALLY the Doman Enclave - I loved having little cutscenes to look forward to every few weeks and it made this storyline feel more realistic, like they were rebuilding as time went on.
