Redesigned islands - gave us the impression the EITC were destroying the Caribbean. That in turn led us to the GM events. That went to new level caps and invasions. And THAT will lead to the next chapter. As you can see, the content that Disney has released is, scripted - it follows a plot, playable - we the players are involved in that plot, and on-going - each event triggers the next.

I agree with basically everything you said except a few statements.
You didn't really provide any facts to support that the second story quest will be based on the invasions.
If the developers said they were working on the Kraken, wouldn't that mean that that's what the second story quest will be about? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Kraken wouldn't the developers rather have all the hard work they put into the Kraken designed as a battle, and not something you can do just by sailing?
I for one see that saving the Pearl during the first story quest meant they were following the movie story line, and once killing off the Kraken and Davy Jones the developers can add in their own story quests.
Having two set in stone story quests to work on is much easier for the developers to work on than just having them say, "Well, what are we going to do? Something about Jolly Roger? Or how about we make new enemies? Ooo... let's go back to the Spanish and French pirate lords and make them a major story quest!"
It seems down right silly to me if they decided to have invasions be the basis of the second story quest. Would it not be a horrible basis, seeing as odds are you're going to need to do an invasion in one quest? When invasions only happen at certain times, which means finishing a quest to do an invasion would be too difficult. Not to mention winning an invasion to complete the quest.
Listen, I for one love the idea of a Jolly Roger story quest... but lets leave that for later. If the Kraken is what the developers are working on, that needs to be the basis of the second story quest. Kill off the Kraken and then in the third story quest fight davy jones and have loads of fun on the Dutchman.
It just seems illogical for them to say they're working on the Kraken, and then have to stop that to make a story quest that's going to go against the movies. Yes, the game is different, but Davy Jones came before jolly roger, and he should be the first to be "taken care of".
