Yes. It is too big. New players should be able to skip to DT if they desire to. They can always NG+ if they want.

Those who keep saying MSQ is a such a huge part of the game and there fore it doesn't make sense to skip it don't seem to have perspective into other playstyles but "watch movie and unsub". If you actually play the game, you spend significantly more time outside of MSQ than in it.

Forcing 300+ hours of solo-player MSQ down new players' throats to get to all of the current raids, ultimates, activities, crafts, maps, hunts, etc in an MMO is asinine.
