It's a valid response to certain critiques depending on how major of a change it could be to the game.

You're welcome.
Your fears are absolutely worst case scenarios, good writers won't suddenly become bad writers because a subset of player will not be required to speed through the MSQ anymore.

Yes, skip all the MSQ to keep player retention and get them to the endgame which they will finish earlier so they can also unsub. Hurray for player retention mechanic of optional MSQ.

Fact is, as has been said, players who don't care about the MSQ are already playing the game by speeding through the MSQ. So this change is not needed.
Source needed.

Bet you people who say the MSQ is fine as is and SE won't change anything also said that before the ARR changes were announced.

Trimming a measly 13% of ARR's fat changes basically nothing.
