A serious discussion about abridging the story quest 1-50 (discouraging new players)

[Xairos]

So, you acknowledge that the story has many pointless quests that should just be removed, yet you insist that people should have to sit there mashing esc to skip them instead...



And FYI, it's still ~10 hours EVEN if you're skipping it.

He's saying that it does hurt to skip it not that it's pointless. The story is the focus here in this game because an attempt at a different, story focused mmo was made. So here we are. We can't gut it now.
