Players turn up at Welken's Reach, see The Well, jump into the centre.
Every time I've done this I die inside but get ressed by my Follower inside The Well.
So a new player will fight the boss, get the Magwytch card, get dropped at the Crossways...and just missed out on the experience of the best Story Realm that is everything Nightingale should be and will sell them on the game for life :)
The devilish part is taking out the boss auto-completes ALL the Welken's quests so I don't have the shopping list / tour guide to show me around and see the sights - that is so key to player experience.
At the least letting the quests persist would be great - I've done them many times but even knowing them you need that guided tour as we've learned from EA to 0.3 - people don't make their own fun they do quests :)
Here is a ticket about all the ways my team have tangled up our quests :)

This is a seperate ticket because returning players are missing Welken's right now and if they are isolated like the Reddit population who love to review bomb you, they won't even know Bouncy Castle Fun Land exists...and it should be their new religion!

Exhibit A
Team mate's son did it last night.
I heard people talking about missing Welken's this way before I even reached Welken's :)
