With msq comes more than just open world content, if you skipped both expansions you would miss the whole learning curve of the other things that come with the msq. A jump to an instant level 60 I dont see how that would work at all I didnt mean that the msq alone made you a better player cause its a diff in soloing content and doing things in a group.
    It would work quite well, given Square puts good introductory instances and tutorials into it.

    The Hall of the Novice is a great tool they added which can be used specifically for this. It'd be easy for them to make it so that any player who used a jump potion to have to go through a series of challenges that introduce the player to each of their abilities and their expectations as the role they chose, then one final challenge they must clear before they'd be allowed to use the DF to make sure they understand the basics of their job. Bam, you've just given the player more knowledge of their job than the entire MSQ combined in a miniscule fraction of the time.

    WoW has the proving grounds(?) which forces players to complete it before they're allowed to sign up for specific types of content, a similar system could make sure players are brought up to speed and understand the basics of their job and role without having to sludge through literally hundreds of story quests where they may not even pick up on any skills period (Just take a look at expert roulette to see how little the game does to teach people their jobs lol)

    Id agree that this can be a future system for sure but Im in novice network on my server because I actually love the feature and most players finish arr msq in less than a month. I dont think at this point a jump potion is needed with teleport and mounts u can easy do these quest easy. Id say as they build on the game more and more then your example would be perfect but its not that bad right now.

    Used to. They started this during WoD and stopped it after, mainly because people were able to just outgear the challenge and faceroll it, so it became pointless to implement in Legion since you could just do the same thing via world quests. Even the boosted 100 tutorial can be sidestepped by just recalling and you get all of your skills unlocked.
