So I got my first 50 not too long again (just started a month or so ago) and I have to say there was a lot of stuff waiting for me I just did not know where to begin.
So I have chipping away at things but I notice that a lot of the new patch instances (and thus story) is probably locked behind main quests and what not.
Is it reasonable for a new player to get through 3 or so prior patch worth of main story to experience the new dungeons and story with them?
Furthermore, when the xpac comes out, will have to have have completed all of the previous main story quest in order to progress in the new zones and such?
Just wondering, if so where should I start?
