Possible level/story jumps....really?

[Teryaani]

I don't want them to do this now or 3-4 years from now. Isn't there any way to avoid it?

Can the MSQ for say 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 etc.. eventually be unlocked from every other expansion? So if the max level is 100 with various ways of leveling up, you don't have to follow a 2,000 part quest-chain to get access to the latest expansion content. It'd make the game more fun and have the story and rewards waiting for people who want to experience it.

Sure. Nothing says they have to do it. We're only talking about it because Yoshi mentioned it in passing. Which he does to a lot of things that never happen. They're already streamlining the MSQ and 4.0 won't have the same gates that 3.0 did.
