But... even that approach comes with a lot of problems that keep it from being ideal, and the buff doesn't exist on data centers with no "preferred" worlds.
Another way is just unlink the story and leave level and ilvl as the requirement for unlocking content. I mean they could easily say "if you want to learn more consider doing X dungeons" throughout the story. If the story is good and the exp is good, people will still watch it and the usual skippers will still skip it.
