Storyline Complete

So, I've finished the main storyline. And while it was enjoyable, it was also quite frustrating.

The whole thing was one massive bottleneck! Its done to force players to slow down and take more time with their character. In order to access over two thirds of the dungeons, you need to go through the storyline. In order access the marketplace, retainers, or grand companies, you have to go through the storyline.

Honestly, I found it very annoying. Rather then bottlenecking players like that, they should just reward them for completing the storyline. Give them a choice. Have ways set up so that players can access the dungeons and features without going through it. Give those who do extra rewards. special minions, or mounts. early access to equipment.

Just don't force them to do it in order to progress. Or, perhaps, give them an option to skip it on future characters if they have completed it on one. Just saying!
