It gets better.
If you think it is boring slog then maybe this is not the game for you. The game does not start at level 80 - it’s the journey.
If you happen to be one of those people that skipped the MSQ Cutscenes because you are used to playing WoW where the story you get really doesn't matter because WoW expects you to read books to understand what is going on, I may have a bit of good news for you. If you feel you made a huge mistake skipping the cut scenes (trust me, you did), you will be able to replay it with the New Game+ system. You just won't get the rewards from it. So at least you don't have to create a new character to watch all those skipped cut scenes.
If story isn't your cup of tea, you are probably going to struggle with FFXIV because it is very story driven.
