100+ old quests to access expansion content...?

More people legitimately love Justin bieber than any other musical artist in history. Again more garbage that caters to a dumbed down society that accepts and actually wants to be stupid and spoon fed.

Guess its more of a generation changing rather than art being "dead". I can agree with you somewhat because i enjoyed games way back on nes ps1 etc more than i do now.

But its changing, in 30 years, the people who grew up in this era will look back and say this was art and whats happening in their time in 30 years is crap.

I'm glad you enjoy the art and story of this game, and I wouldn't want to diminish that experience for you or others. That being said, forcing people to go through the old quests (as basically a pause to the game's progression) to access the expansion is simply a bad idea. It doesn't mean the art or story needs to be removed from the game. But, there are plenty of better ways to do it, i.e. incorporate this storyline into the leveling process, either in the ARR portions or in the HW portions.

In any case, it is clear that the dev's agree, as exemplified by their intention to remove these quests from requirements to enter future expansions. It's not about lore, it's about design and choices.
