Joscar. The intention of making Story Quest less profitable and more difficult, is for people to stop doing it repeatedly with many alts. If it is discouraging you from making multiple alts with the sole purpose of doing Story quest, then it's fullfiling its objective.

Since the problem is the alts, when will a measure be taken so that it does not have 20+ plvling pet alts? many of these players who only log in to feed the pets, unlike those who do sq who need a long time to complete it ...

Having many alts is not the problem. Making alts to profit from Story Quest is the "problem".
We will still probably modify the SQ in the future, but the lv 59 restriction will most likely stay in place.

unfair it makes a big deal for those who use 20+ alts and log a few hours a day and nerfic who uses alts to do sq being that hours and hours are needed to finish it ... Say the problem is SQ thinking as if it were easy and not tiring. It makes no sense. Changes were necessary, I admit but lv59 + is abusive.

The Part that requires Lv59+ is ultra-hard to do otherwise. If you can prove that an Lv20 player can solo level at spring isle and it's dungeons. Then we will re-consider that particular change.

Not necessarily lv20 (I never saw anyone doing that part being lv20) ... but lv59 is already an abuse. As I said above sq needed some changes but lv59 + to me seems exaggerated. @Developer
