The content between the end of ARR and Heavensward is not very good.
Don't get me wrong I love this game however the 100 or so quests that you have to do to get to Heavensward are a dull long boring grind for the most part. At least for me they are . Just a lot of running back and forth talking to people. I am nearly to the end having completed about 75 of them. I am nearly ready to fight Shiva I think. But its a tough grind and its wearing me down. I am not going to let it deter me however as I have purchased the expansions and I mean to play them. They need to put some way in to the game to bypass this stuff...or possibly condense it somehow. As I can see this burning some people out.
