Honestly at this point I think the devs should let new players have a choice of starting in ARR or starting in 8.0. I know that defeats the entire purpose of the cash shop story skip items but at this point getting new players to commit is nigh impossible. Even when I tried to convince friends to play it with me, speed running through ARR, they still ended up no longer playing after beating Gaius. I can't even lie and say it'll get better either. At this point you make friends with other people who play already but even that's a dying breed thanks to DT fucking up. Square's only hope is to get those players back that have left but the Dawntrail problem is still there permanently
