Oh my god, if I knew I’d be grandfather’d in I’d have logged on my alts, put them on the Threads of Fate and went to sleep instead of power leveling that Rogue and Warlock.
This has been known for months.
If you’re getting your news exclusively from the GD forums (the only way I can think of that you wouldn’t know this), get your head checked.
Guess you could say it was fate
I don’t know if it is a fluke, but my newly created Evoker had Threads of Fate available. I was able to choose a covenant and skip all the way to ZM.
blizz did a last minute change and at 60 you can choose threads of fate with all the skips included

Once I got to SL via the skip Maw, I was able to choose Threads of Fate as a path…
Glad threads of fate option is still there for drathyr. I will see if its available to lvl 50 characters.
This turned out to be untrue, because I activated Threads of Fate immediately upon getting to Oribos.

- Players who have reached level 60 and have completed the Shadowlands level up campaign on a different character will be able to choose the “Threads of Fate” option, allowing them to skip the level up campaign to begin the endgame of Shadowlands.
- Developers’ note: The Threads of Fate system is still no longer available for any characters who haven’t already entered it prior to the recent update.
It’s gone permanently
This is such a pointless change. Now way in hell I’m doing the campaign again. Tedious and time consuming. Not to mention boring when you’ve already done it.

wotlk is a lot more fun and quicker…
You have cracked the code of the General Discussion forum. 
Now, they will just level 50 to 60 in Bastion 
[Emphasis mine]
…did you miss the emphasized part? I was able to engage Threads of Fate immediately on my fresh 60 evoker after skipping the Maw intro.
Still sucks that you can’t use Threads of Fate for leveling, though 
…and I wonder what happens if you decline the initial Threads of Fate decision – whether that’s from being <L60 at the time you complete the intro or straight up declining it with a >L60 character. Are you still able to engage in Threads of Fate at the Fatescribe like before once you do hit L60 or decide not to go through the rest of the SL storyline on a >L60?
The storyline is not linear. It’s all over the place, even within zones. However, how players must work through it is more on rails and hand-holdy that I’ve eveer seen in the game.
Quest text: “Listen to those people talk.”
Player must click each person at the right time to see a cinematic or read text in chat.
It’s especially cool that a lot of these quests no longer complete correctly. The question mark does not appear, or when you turn in a quest, the next quest does not appear until you leave the area, the zone, or relog at least once.
How the heck is a player who has not done those quests before supposed to know that a quest is supposed to pop?
I can check that for you. I have never taken threads of fate, so I know exactly where those quests were popping before phase 2 of the prepatch, and what was involved with declining them.
Edit to add: And the answer is, a level 50 is no longer offered Threads of Fate. When you talk to the Fatescribe, she offers no quest.
We still can’t queue old dungeons at 60 but we can have BFA and SL? Ugh. So close, yet so far.
You hit 60 doing the evoker starting zone. They wouldn’t get to do threads regardless if it was an option or not
Kind of strange for them to remove it almost entirely otherwise though
What a joke, thanks for the heads up Blizzard. If I had known they were doing this I’d have enabled it on my alts.

I had NO idea this was going to happen. Just took an alt to start SL at level 50 and now she’s stuck in Oribos on a floating platform with Tai-Inara with NO way to move on to next step! Quest says to talk to NPC in front of me but they do nothing.
update: I abandoned quest, then a glowing portal appeared which took me back inside Oribos.
WHY on earth didn’t they just leave Threads of Fate

Bring back threads of fate, I don’t want to do SL content linearly again!
