Change introductory missions (PvP, New zone, etc)

Or just remove them and add them automatically to the contact finder.
Or if the contact finder is too far out of the way, have them be introduced as normal (that is, "Be introduced to a new contact") instead of forcing you to go talk to them before you can get any more missions from whoever you're talking to at the moment - contact introductions do NOT need to be treated as missions in their own right.
Normal introduction -
Contact: Thanks for taking care of that mission for me. By the way, I know some people who wanted to talk to you.
Player: *Clicks on Be Introduced To A New Contact* You're welcome. Who was it that needed help?
Contact: Well, this guy was having problems with Trolls busting up neighborhoods in Skyway, and this other guy is on the case with what looks like Council activity over in Steel Canyon, so you should go talk to them.
Player: Okay, I will. What else do you have for me to do, until I can get to there?
Contact: Great, thanks. So this fortune teller was kidnapped by the Circle of Thorns...
Annoying introduction -
Player: *Clicks on Ask About Available Missions* Hi Contact, what's on tap today?
Contact: David Wincott wanted to talk to you, so you should go see what's up.
Player: All right, sounds good, I'll do that as soon as I can. In the meantime do you have anything else for me?
Contact: NO, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE HOLLOWS AND TALK TO HIM RIGHT NOW OR I AM NOT SPEAKING TO YOU ANYMORE.
Yeah, let's just have all the liasons and zone-story-arc-beginning contact introductions added to the FIRST conversation type, ok?

I refer you to this thread. 
The worst part is that a lot of them "open" their story arcs the moment you do the introduction, meaning you can't even outlevel them. For someone like me, who likes to keep his contact list uncluttered, that's a giant pain. I'll often just auto-complete those missions, or, if it's too soon to do an auto-complete (like how I got "introduced" to both Wincott and Peebles in one weekend) I'll accept the mission on a contact I don't care about, and then abandon it when it's been safely outleveled anyway.
Please, for the love of all that's holy (or unholy if you prefer):
I've played this game for seven years. I've leveled dozens of characters to at least the mid levels. I do NOT need to be introduced to:
The Hollows
Siren's Call
Warburg
etc...
on every single character!
Make these once per account, or at least make them one of the mission CHOICES, and not be forced to go there for the nth time whether or not I am interested in actually going there.
