Also, the quests revolving around talk to x people in an area or find x or a hidden object in an area. These are just awful and need to go. They are not fun imho, just lazy padding designed to waste your time, not be fun.

Am I the only person that was kind of glad they "killed off" (probably not actually dead) the Scions of the 7th dawn at the end of 2.55? I really enjoyed that ending story sequence, it was well done.

My point is that 2.3 to 2.55 is mostly fluff that was added to tide hardcore players over until the expansion came out. It is in dire need of trimming down all of the fluff. Also, I refuse to pay $18 to skip this, as I feel like the money I have already spent on this game should be going toward the devs making an enjoyable experience. I shouldn't have to pay extra to skip this.
