You dont need the story.

[MsQi]

200 hours of content someone may find boring blocking them from access to content they may not find boring is too much. While I understand this game is story-based, it is also a themepark MMORPG. It can (and does) cater to both types of players.

However, I don't necessarily agree with pruning, or cutting of ARR story content. That's story content lost forever, bits that can give further context, etc. I'd rather they figure out a way to re-implement this stuff different than outright cut.

I agree I would rather they not touch a hair on the MSQ and make it optional.

We didn't lose much in the pruning, but it didn't really help either, and it didn't really address the real problems. It seems to be longer now that Crystal Tower is required.
