Want to add that "new players" excuse is so silly! These players should be completely new to MMORPG to not understand concept of main quests and side quests How they are going to progress if they can not find out about such simple thing? B&S requires player to look for information for every new piece of content: want to choose build - google/ask, want to know optimal rotation - google/ask, want to choose bracelet - google/ask, want to know boss mechanics - google/ask. Let's remove all that? Removing things is not the only method of simplifying. You can add some sort of in-game wiki/reference, for example. In f-chat people ask 1.1k AP for raids like Skybreak Spire. And you know what? There is almost no way for new player to get that AP without help of a clan. Char with soul from last event, elementary acc from DT/NS, Oath Necklace + belt, divine bracelet and bale 12 have like 1060 AP. That is what turning people away and what you need to simplify. And how new player would know what gear to get first and from where? Right, they need to google it or ask in chat. So what's the point of removing quests?

Blue quests was a part of the story, part of B&S world. Removing them is really sad and unreasonable move.
