being new and @ level 50 is killing my interest

There was a massive thread about simplifying the story-line for new players to only contain story critical quests.

FYI, this is the only MMO that is implemented this way. In no other game can you pay money for an expansion and not instantly access at least most of the content you payed for. It isn't surprising at all that a number of people don't understand why it is implemented this way. It's like all the people arguing for the way it currently works have never played another game in their lives.

Or perhaps they don't think it needs to follow every MMO's example. The modern MMO has lost their way and forgotten they are an MMORPG, giving up the RPG element to satisfy the entitled new generation who possesses the attention span of a fly and wants everything NOW.

I'm not saying it is wrong, I'm just saying it isn't surprising that people are confused.

True, introducing this concept to people who have been either conditioned by WoW or the clone model of other MMOs, is probably quite the jolt, and not everyone is going to like it. If some people give it a chance however, they may end up appreciating it. Just like everything in life, people have different tastes. People need to realize this is a story based MMO, that's really what sets it apart from the other MMOs atm. Everything is explained in the lore(even the reason for PvP.)

People need to realize the story isn't something to think of as a barrier that prevents you from accessing the expansion and such. Rather the story IS the game, you're playing it at that very moment. Enjoy the journey. Outside of story, you have two dungeons which give you tomes, two extreme mode primals, and a single raid. All of these things will be here for you weeks from now, and you'll be caught up I promise you.
