Cutting the fat and removing some of the gating from MSQ would not hurt. But a complete removal and allowing people to just go where they please for nothing in exchange is a middle finger to those who have spent time dredging through it all. Skip potions are a good middle ground you can skip if you choose but at a cost, no free ride as they would say. Some changes need to be made to ease the new player experience just no free ride to end game though.
