And I bet that if ShB 80-after will be like 70 quests (middle between ARR and HW), in 6.0 there will be people who will scream that it's too long to do.
This wouldn't be an issue if the MSQ wasn't required to play the rest of the game. There only needs to be a compromise because we're all forced to participate in the MSQ. If it was optional, it could be as long as it wanted without bothering the players that would rather play different parts of the game. It sounds to me that reduced MSQ requirements would not only bring about a better game for the less story inclined, but also for players that want more story content.
