I suspect the true purpose of ng+ is to permit a more drastic skip than what we got with the msq edits, but we won’t know until a future expansion is revealed. Long ago back in beta, they acknowledged the msq length would be a concern they’d eventually need to consider, and retiring level ranges might be necessary.
Now that the ascian saga is over, and now that the gigaprimal arc seems to be coming to a close, it may be time to shelf the entire storyline and only introduce players to a new arc. Maybe not this upcoming expansion, but certainly the one after.
