I try to avoid rushing to the end in any game these days. I was a raider in EQ1 and EQ2 a decade ago. I feel like I ruined the experience for myself by being power-leveled to end game to raid dungeons for phat lewt. Especially when I make a new character just to explore, and I find out just how much I skipped just to rush to the top. I can imagine being a storyboard writer or an art designer knowing my content is rushed through or skipped by most players. It must be demoralizing. But I like to take a liberty minded stance on everything. If you want to skip it, go ahead. I just personally choose not to anymore.
