Dev team, please do not remove the importance of the MSQ

[Awha]

If it's optional, then it's not the focus. Savage raiding is optional, therefore it's not the focus. It's important, but not the focus. MSQ is not optional, therefore it is the focus.

By optional I mean not obligatory, the story can be optional while still being the focus. SE can still market and use the story as an element the wish to promote and keep as the focus, but keeping something as the focus does not inherently means it has to be forced or a requirement to engage in other content of the game.

Maybe I am just dense but I just do not see how making something optional automatically makes something less important. The importantance is determined by the resources going into it, and no one is asking them to limit said resources, just nice QoL change for those that honestly do not care about the story and already skip it.

FC mate pointed out an example SWTOR the focus is on story or so they say but in theory if you really wanted to you could never touch the story content and still take part in pvp and pve content.
