Maybe they do have a new system in place. Anyone else remember in the past where they double down on bad systems. You have not moved off the benefit of the doubt wagon yet. How much longer can they ride the ARR relaunch goodwill with you people.
I like the continual nature of the story. Its one of the things in this game that appeals to me the most. Having them change that would definitely negatively effect my enjoyment of the game. However there are definitely issues and sadly when rebuilding the game they didn't seem to take those considerations into account. That makes things tricky. Its also why I get the need for a Jump Potion. Its not a perfect fix but its a functional one and done right can be introduced with minimal negative impact to existing and new players.

Would I like them to overhaul the existing system to make it address these existing problems better without resorting to the Jump Potions? Hell yeah. Is that realistically feasible? Hell no. The time, effort and cost simply make it impractical. It would be like trying to rebuild a car's engine into a different shape while in the middle of a formula one race.
