I have to complete 100 quests to access Heavensward?

Why don't you want to play the "entire" game and story you paid for? Just wondering because if you just blow by all this content then you are really missing out. I know I am not you and you are entitle to play however you want but if I joined in late I would want to experience the entire game and not miss stuff. There is nothing you are missing in 3.0. World first race is long over so you have time to catch up and your own pace. The only issues I see is if you are trying to be a crafter...then you have a ton of work to put in. Enjoy the game and have some fun.

The same reason most people don´t want to be forced to watch Episode 1-3 in a Star Wars marathon but rather start with the interesting stuff? If you have enjoyed it - good for you. I do know 2 people who did follow the storyline and dozens who didn´t. I really wanted to like the story but after 5 minutes of npc´s telling each other who is more honered to work with whom in every arc I would have been happy to opt for a story skip.
