I don't know why but the more I play FFXIV the more I am reminded of WotLK era WoW and this is NOT a good thing. Whatever happened to originality in games nowadays?

The world quests ARE dailies. They are just unlimited dailies with a wide assortment of rewards you can choose from.

I personally like the dailies in this game because they have fun storylines and there's a sense of progression with them and they are a great way to level up. Maybe I haven't played enough to hate them (I missed HW and came back for Stormblood).

Nah, not really. Once you do them enough it's the same stuff over and over. (Kill X, Pick up X, Click X) It's pretty much dailies. Only difference is that it's easier to get into groups and finish them quickly and they give better rewards in addition to rep. It's also slightly more annoying since they can spawn in batches every 4 hours.

If you actually want to rep up faster you have clean out the map everyday.

I'd rather just one and done them and buy the mount/pet unlike the paragon boxes which make you do them for a week straight continually to get a box with a bad drop rate on a mount.

You can do 12 daily quests with 9 beast tribe, all of them having at least 3 quests (ARR tribes can give more depending on your rank). So you don"t need to do the same every single day. Even if you do, from HW and SB tribe quest you get 3 random quests out of a pool of possible quests. So far doing 3 Kojin quest everyday I only got 1 quest 2 days in a raw, and 1 of them the item to pick up was at a different place and with a different discussion with the NPC (the one collecting "dragon breath" on the surface of the sea, sometimes it's not the real thing, other times it is)

Right now I do 3 Kojin, 3 moogles and the rest is Ixal because Kojin and Moogles are the only ones I have not maxed, ixal to level my low level crafters. You have choices for it to not be repetitive.

Daily quests can be good.
It's just that quests in FFXIV are bad.

And they get worse by the time because, as we can see in this thread, there is this weird idea that quests become better when they're shorter, easier or with a bigger rewards.

I have way too many crafters and dps classes to level to even want to consider having daily beast tribe quests removed. Its easy quick exp especially for crafters.

I like that it’s just 3 quick quests, at least for the kojin but even the other beast tribes it didn’t take me long to complete and really didn’t take me long to max out. As a WoW player also I hate their systems, it feels so long like there are other things I would rather do than grind out rep or have to get groups to do those dailies. On that note I personally don’t want to see the system changed I would rather beast tribes not take more of my time when there are so many other things I would rather do in game.

I enjoy anything that involves a story and more world building. The beast tribe quests were always cute little side stories that were simple but added a bit to the world and lore. I will say though Ive found HW and SB beast tribe quests to be way to easy. Moogle quests were a joke compared to the Ixali ones. But overall I'm glad the quests exist, great to do in-between queuing as a DPS :)

(Ignore them if you have issues with them, its not that hard ^^)

the beastmen quest are very easy they aren't like warcraft dailys the warcraft daily where part end game progress these aren't. stop whining

I like both world quests in WoW and XIV's version of dailies. They serve different purposes, so it's okay for them to be structured differently. In WoW, they're vital for progression, so some variety and decent rewards from them are needed. In XIV they're used for optional items and leveling, and thus them being a bit repetitive isn't a big deal because they're done quickly.

Comparing each system with appropriate context is important, IMO.

They could easily tie relic weapons in with the S rank hunts for a chance at a rare drop or something to make them at least somewhat enjoyable. Along with really complicated quests that will of course become easier once people figure them out the first time.

That would be awful. S ranks die in two seconds as it is. No one would be able to get their relic for being blocked by trolls. And I enjoyed my time in EverQuest, but I didn't enjoy having to camp for weeks just to get the item that would let me start the pre-quest for my enchanter's snake stick. Those also just weren't rare spawns. Those were raid mobs that wouldn't spawn for another week sometimes. That would be like putting the pieces on Odin or Ixion. So that's a "hell no" from me.
