It drags on... and on... and on.
I'm a new player. I purchased Heavensward shortly after making level 50 and was looking forward to it. Then I discovered that I'm a long way from being able to set foot inside the new zones.
Level 50 is too monotonous. I've done 4 out of the 5 chapters of main story line quests, several level 50 dungeons, several level 50 trials, and I'm still level 50 many days later. I've got one more long drawn out chapter's worth of main story-line quests to go. Even before the storyline EXP boost that came with Heavensward, I could still have leveled many times with the amount of work I've spent grinding away towards the privilege of going to the new world...
Constructively, this is too much. New players are going to get frustrated. My wife isn't even level 50 yet and she's getting frustrated watching me because she knows that soon she'll have to endure the very same thing. Why isn't there a way to circumvent all of this?
