The Lessons Not Learned.

So i hope they decided to end it in 6.0 for a good reason, and that they have an interesting story in the work of 7.0 to justify this decision.

They did it because the length of the MSQ was getting far too long for players new to the game. It was a bit daunting to think there was so much story to have to play through to get caught up with friends.

Finishing the story arc allows them to create a new starting point for players to jump into the game without having to go through 90 levels of MSQ to catch up to long time players. Likely for the next couple of expansions, players will have a choice to start a new character at level 90 and the new story, or start from level 1 and the original ARR story.
