Rearrange contact messages

Can we get the default order for contact messages tweaked? My level-14 Dominator had a mission in Faultline, and while I was looping around collecting all the exploration badges and placques, since I was there, I stopped to talk to Faultline. He gave me the full spiel about poor Fusionette, and then told me that I needed to clear up some of what I was already doing (I had seven missions at the time). I do one and skip getting another from the same contact so I have a mission slot free, go back to Faultline, and he tells me that Fusionette's level 15 and is in trouble, so I should wait until I'm 15 before trying to help.

It would have been useful to have Faultline tell me up front that I needed to be 15, rather than giving me the whole song and dance about Fusionette and then telling me I was too busy. Can we get the priority of messages the contacts give changed around so that, if you're already full on missions, the contact will tell you if they don't have any more missions, or if you're not high enough level, before they tell you you're too busy? Dragging yourself halfway across Paragon City to turn in a mission, then back the same way, just so you can be told that you're not high enough, or they don't have anything else for you, is an annoying time-waster.
