I'll answer with this :The amount of ridiculous excuses defending the MSQ is just absurd.
This game is not new player friendly in the slightest when it comes to actually jumping into new content.
The barrier is only going to get bigger and bigger as time goes on.
And i know a lot of people use the stupid "Its about the journey, not the destination" line. Its not that way for everyone, and its an mmorpg. The game can't survive with just veteran players, the goal is to bring in new players as well. And on paper the MSQ/beginner experience is terrible.
Hundreds of hours of fetch quest, go talk to this person, go kill this, etc.. Content gated because of MSQ progression, expansions gated because of MSQ.
I know people are going to disagree, but that's because they are just jaded and they think because they had to do it, others have to do it as well.
