But it's also a story-driven game, so it's expected you go through the expansions. If you dislike it, cough up the cash for a skip.
Not really true, for WoW. I think currently they drop you into tutorial island then into BfA for 1-60 on a fresh account, then 60-70 in current expac. Subsequent characters you can level in any expansion you want then go into current expansion at 60.

Leveling a new character takes basically no time at all. As an example, looking at an alt I started recently, my time played to max level was about 24 hours of /played, and I wasn't trying to go fast really.
