They could easily incorporate the storyline without making it a means to throw you to end-game. In XIV you had to be x level to even do missions that were no more than talk to 2 NPCs, that has nothing to do with progression, it was poor implementation.
The storyline and its quests should carry you all the way to 50. But it should not be as simple as talking to 2 NPCs for a single quest, agreed.
