After all by the time you reach where players are now, they will have moved on to yet newer content. It's a social game. Making players feel wanted and needed is very important.

Any shortcut provided is optional so players whom want to spend the time leveling and advancing through the MSQ may do so. Players whom don't won't have too. That's the point. Giving new players more choice in how they want to spend their time playing, so they'll stick around.
If they feel isolated thats there issue with the game. If we allow people to bypass things why do we have any restrictions at all in the present? Just give us level capped characters with full story completion so we can get right to the endgame. They won't be at the bottom forever and to them everything is new. If someone thinks its not worth it to work there way up then oh well too bad so sad move on and have a nice day. Get over the whole new players need to feel special crap because I'm so tired of it. Like I said the whole game should be be one big level boost/story skip if people feel so passionate about letting new players do it.
