From what tidbits have been said (which isn't much) they want to get rid of the 'bloat' between post-ARR and HW. What is that, near 100 quests? Way too much (and I've done them all lordy help me).

There have been some posts that new players have quit because of such quest bloat, being a lot of the game is locked behind the MSQ. So removing some quests is definitely a start.
