Why are there people in the forums that quit msq because some quest was a little tedious? Like wtf, yeah there might be some annoying quests, but they still they like 10 mins max, if that makes you stop playing I dunno what to say, you surely can stomach killing a couple enemies in different locations? Why are you playing this game in the first place?

Just make the group have 3 enemies or 4 enemies from the get go if they will be exactly the same thing and keep the middle man out of it.

Well your wording gave the impression that you did. I remember the quest, I personally had no problems with it, the wait is like 5 seconds, how is that a problem? It's a little different and I actually quite liked it.

Listen I will take any quest like that over doing the Company of Heroes level bullshit from ARR.

But even then it's not really this quest wasn't even that bad. If anything the fact they don't spawn all at once means you have to pay attention and can't just dash right into the next pile.

This. I don't even know where actually the problem is as I haven't face any trouble myself with this quest or even got annoyed over it.

Compared the the dreaded Moogle quests in Heavensward, this one was a piece of cake.

It's not really a matter of if something else is not as bad as this thing. If this thing is bad is kind of the point, ya know? The thing I'm asking for is such a minor change and would honestly make this thing go faster.

- Turn the 'Wait X second' Destinations into proximity spawns
- Just make the Mob group size one enemy larger to eliminate that additional wait time after defeating the first group

I don't know man, this quest just personally felt really egregious with needless wait time. I don't know if I'm being too hyperbolic with how bad it is, but when I did it, it just felt... bad.

I 'member this one. Don't recall bein too fluffed about it, afterall, not erry day as the great Warrior of (Insert preferred Light level here) is glorious battle and bloodshed. Somedays are gonna be tedious, poorly paced battle and bloodshed. Kinda increases immersion if you think about it a certain way. Now if only they'd add a huffy teenager emote, one where we'd sigh loudly and trudge off to our heroic, bloody, yet boring and tedious deed.

I was bein snitty. My actual response was a dire glare at the screen and a muttered "seriously?". I'd expect nothin to be done about it, at least not any time soon. They've got lot's on their plates atm and at least we only have to do that quest once. I'll have them save the best work for Expert dungeons and the like, things I have to do over, and over, and...over...
