It requires a front-loaded investment in infrastructure, which means lower returns for a few quarters.

Most companies wanted people to use horses for as long as possible because that meant they had to adapt, change, and invest. Why do something that’s difficult when you can just do the same thing? This works out when you don’t really have competition because the cost to enter the market is so high due to decades of mergers and acquisitions, consolidating all means of production and materials to a select-few companies.

There are more efficient, greener ways to go about producing pretty much everything we use that doesn’t destroy the earth. Problem is is that it’s not as profitable for share holders.

I don’t see either of those happening because there’s no short-term profit. Also, unintended consequences.

That’s what it seems like. I’m definitely going to be doing it, if only to keep the gameplay a little fresh once I stop leveling multiple times within an hour and the quests take a bit longer.

Hunting log looks perfect. It’s nice that it tells you the general area where the mobs are located.

Great to know. I definitely want to have a tank/healer/dps so I can swap when I want. Being an arcanist is great for the healer/dps aspect and I’m going to go paladin for the tank.

Mainly for the queues so that I can pop it instantly rather than waiting 15-30 min for a dps queue.

This is good to know, thank you!

Very true. Let’s hope I’m still playing by then! It’s my first MMO and I’m really enjoying it now though nothing has happened in the story yet.

I really like that the game seems designed against what most newer games do as in, respecting your time. It seems like you don’t have to play the game 24/7 to keep up and I’ve read that the devs encourage people to unsubscribe when they’re done with the content since the game isn’t designed to be the only game someone plays? That’s awesome.

Yea, it seems like the MSQ gives so much experience. I know that I’ll be doing it for like 100 hours or more so I might as well have a couple of different jobs to play to spice things up here and there.

I’m happy to hear that there really aren’t any downsides to doing it.

This is all fantastic info. When I looked it up earlier, it seems like flying mounts uBlock after MSQ?

And I purposefully picked arcanist because of that quirk!

I’m thinking of doing the duties as healer/tank for faster queues. DPS queues are so long I just did them with the NPCs but I prefer doing them with other players.

You can pet him!?! That’s awesome
