It's not even that I care to do intro quests over and over again - for example even though skippable I always did the WOD introduction on my toons. Those were normal quests and it rewarded you with a complete set of gear to bring you up to speed and gave reasonable XP.
But for the maw introduction they really dug deep into the most annoying quest box. It literally starts with the fun "connect these four points while you walk like a snail", has unskippable RP where you cannot even just AFK but have to talk to the NPC twice, and finally the beloved "follow me in my stealth circle" quest. The only thing missing would be some "kill 200 mobs in that vehicle" quest to make it perfect.
It awards poor XP and no reasonable gear and just serves as annoying time sink, it serves as nothing but promoting the story which we already knew when doing it a second time. Quite curious why they decided it should not be skippable in the first place.
The WoD introductory quests would like to have a word with you.
The maw bit is fine, the icecrown crap leading up to it though..
20-30 minutes for a whole level of xp? no thanks, keep it. Maybe make the NPCs walk faster though...
The biggest problem are the unskippable conversations. Otherwise yeah, you're fairly quickly done and it rewards an entire level.
It's kind of like the WoD intro. It was AMAZING the first time, where you get introduced to the expac, but after that it was just a chore and that mostly because of the waiting.
You can complete it in 23 minutes - it's how quick i completed it when i first levelled in my speedruns on live >.>
I would rather the Maw intro than an extra level of Threads of Fate

Totally agree. And plz skip doing each thorgast layer on alt.
Sure, I mean why not? Give it as an option - for those who like it, do it for XP or whatever, for those who are tired of it, let the player skip. Nothing wrong with options.
So what if it takes x minutes? So what if someone else likes it? So what. OP doesn't like it and would like a skip option, how does this affect any of you guys - it's not like you'll convince him to like it. I have friends who hate it too - so give them the option, I swear every time someone asks for something there's a bunch of people coming to say no for no real reason.
Makes no sense that you can skip the rest of the storyline and just do whatever but can't skip the lame intro.
Covenant quests are worse.
Got Night Fae Fire Mage, Kyrian Shadow Priest and Necrolord Ret Paladin (lol).
At least getting all alts to 200+ ilvl is insanely easy.
My nickname is "LDEV", not "idev". (both font clarification and ez bait)
yall im smh @ ur simplified english
Yeah, we should be able to skip it.
Its not the no mount thing, more like slow npcs.
They talk about being in danger and we need to flee asap. Only to full stop in the middle of a road and have thrall ask about where tyrande is...
We could skip the bfa intro stuff too and iirc we still got the quest xp for it.
