Inaccurate for some cases.
Try this version:
"Many people are annoyed that they may have to revisit old content, which they have already worked for, in order to access, and begin earnestly working towards, at least some of the new content, which they have paid for."
I don't think people have to revisit old content, if you're already beaten the MSQ, there is nothing to revisit. If anything they're giving us a helping hand by starting the classes at 30 instead of 1.
Is there a new zone or new dungeons for leveling 30-50 that I haven't seen yet?
I didn't see anything about new content for those levels. The MSQ is supposed to give more EXP, yes, but if I'm just picking up MCH at 30, where do I go to level to 50 that I haven't seen?
I mean, yes, but do you think every job after your first should start at 50 now? It's a different job, usually they start at one. I find it rather odd to complain about getting 30 levels free.
I was addressing your point about "nothing to revisit" by saying that yes, yes there IS old content to revisit, and it's the content that will get you from 30-50.
Nathan's going to pick up MCH at some point (after I check out the new bard stuff). I have to start it at 30. So, I gotta run TotoRak, Haukke, all those dungeons, do the existing Leves, and scrounge up FATEs. Just like I had to do to get MNK and DRG to 50. Like I will have to do if I ever want WAR above 32 on him.
That is precisely being forced to do old content to get MCH to where it can operate in Ishgard, unless SE has a new zone or such awaiting us for our level 30 pleasures, and yet it still denies giving the new classes to people without doing the MSQ, which is one of the points in this thread.
I appreciate that having the new classes begin at 50 will flood the level 50 instances with people who can't play their class specifically because it WAS born yesterday.
Why not have an option? It seems reasonable to me to have the new class trainers accessible in, say, Coerthas, when I can sneak up there and learn 'em somewhere between 30 and 40, and continue the MSQ as the new class but on my first character. That is really isn't much different than playing, say, a Bard to 30, then leveling up Monk to from 1-50 to see the rest of the game.
I'm not complaining about 30 free levels. I'm pointing out that new players AND old players still can't have the classes without at least a minimum of forced old content. SE is saying that we're not worthy of the new classes until we do the MSQ, and when we do it, we STILL have to go back and regrind. Please go back and read Chachanji's posts in this thread - he's already laid this out for us.
