It's really obvious the ones complaining were the ones who joined super late and most likely left WoW for FF14. The whole "Marketing ploy" thing is total BS because content was always locked, even in 2.x, if you weren't at a certain point in the story. I play this game for the story and lore...I am an RPer and I am an FF fan who likes the game aspect of...this game >>
So yeah....When I saw this news, I was super disappointed. I liked that FF14 set itself apart with it's own rules and it made sense! I don't get why RPers are mad about not being able to skip past the story...wouldn't you want to know the lore that you learn through everything?
The difference is that they're not saying "now no one can play the story," they're just saying that "you don't have to play the story if you don't want to."
Those that still want to play the story can play the story. Those that don't want to, won't.
Player Choice makes video games better. There is no way that more Player Choice can make a game bad.
