So I've been leveling up in this game for a bit now, and throughout the entire process I've tried doing as little quests as possible because I've been outleveling the MSQ by 10+ levels throughout most of the game (currently outleveling by 6 levels, I'm level 47),
the question is when i get to 50 will i be stuck doing ARR quests that'll barely give me anything for ages, before i can move on to the first expansion? And if that's the case, what is the point of the road to 60 buff? Doesn't it just worsen the new player experience?

ARR's story so far has been pretty bad overall (with some good moments though) and has had horrible pacing, but I've been told it gets better once i get into Heavensward.
