FF14 shouldn't be like WoW where people assume the story isn't everything...it's kind of ridiculous in my opinion. It's really obvious the ones complaining were the ones who joined super late and most likely left WoW for FF14.
From what I've read, I've seen the exact opposite. I'm not seeing these new(er) people complaining about doing the MSQ, but rather the veterans complaining that they have to repeat it on an alt. (Completely forgetting the fact that neither FF MMO is alt friendly in the slightest.)
I have two alts and I've beaten HW twice....took me about two weeks for my alt and now I am working on my third alt. It's not difficult once you know how to do everything.
I think part of the contention in this is that it's still a time-sink. Those two+ weeks you spent leveling and going through content again could have been spent RPing or doing other things, etc. I haven't seen anyone say that the game was hard to play for difficulty, but rather, hard to play knowing that the time could have been used elsewhere, possibly more effectively in their opinions.
Whether or not this is actually going to change for 4.0 in the way people would like, we'll have to see then. Speculating now could either make an unreasonable expectation, or a complete lack of one.
