100+ old quests to access expansion content...?

[zbtiqua]

With the base game, SE doesn't have that limitation. Everyone getting an expansion needs the base game anyway, and needs to level to endgame in it. Requiring you actually play the game while doing so isn't much of an additional requirement, so SE could add the story to make the expansion fit into the world it's set in.

So what you are saying is, they could create an expansion without the need to repeat pointless old content, and they will in the future because noone wants to do it. But, just not yet because they already did this. Your explanation also explains why there is no need for this to even be a part of the game- they are creating the content and can create it however they want, even without making you do 100 old quests.

Heres an idea- Why not have ONE chain quest to allow you into the expansion? It can even sum up all the lore if thats what you want! There is no reason this is how it has to be.
