Their QA team consists of hundreds of people, so testing guildhests should be quick and easy relative to everything else.
People still do guildhests because meeting sprouts in them is extremely common. A lot of the time it is the very first multiplayer dungeon of any form that a sprout does.
Doing levequests is actually something you may find new players doing, even if nobody would recommend it. They are used as relic weapon steps and to spawn hunts so these would have to be adjusted.

Oh look, another troll bait thread. The saddest thing is that nowadays the whole forums activity is being driven by 2-3 trolls, instead of real threads.

Contrary to what OP said deleting content will make devs have even less time. You don't need to QA old content, and I really doubt SE even looks at it, but if you remove anything you absolutely need to make sure nothing references it and that there's no crashes or other undefined behavior because of deletion of some content. That is some real work and if any crashes happen because of it... well I wouldn't want to be the guy debugging it and I feel sorry for the guy who would have to.
Funfact: Nothing has ever been deleted from the game files. Even the old Tomestones are still there even though the oldest ones were phased out soon a decade ago. They are inaccessible but not removed.
Also this argument
The biggest memory hogger in anything is the graphics and the server side doesn't have them because why would it need them. It likely just has some binaries and scripts and the size of them is probably very minimal if you look at what's taking space. If you are concerned about memory point your finger at player data and I'm sure there's not much you can do to the size of that.Quote:

I'd rather not see content removed from the game, personally.
Coincidentally I've also recently been polishing off some of the levequest achievements lately - so they're definitely still relevant. -

Has no apparent impact on the devs ability to create new content. FFXI for example has A LOOOOOT of old content that no one has done in over a decade, but content is still being made for it today.
And the lodestone, since people use that as a stalking/tracking device.Quote:
