What's up with the quests in this game?

I was one of the first rank 50 MRD's on Wutai.
When i did my MRD guild quests i was confused as f***
They were disorganized, kinda boring and pointless, had some lame story about joining pirates, etc. There weren't any cool cutscenes and the story was kinda boring.

I just did all 3 botany guild quests.
They had a great story, lots of cutscenes, awesome music, etc. They felt like the cutscene quests from FFXI. Now some parts were a b**** to do because of horrible mob placement and some lame "sleeping mob" mini game, but the story part was -excellent-.

So whats up with that?
Why does it seem like they put a ton of effort into the botany guild quests and almost no effort into the MRD ones?

And why are they making these lame sidequests (and i've done 47+ of them so far) when they could be making quests like the botany guild quests.

If they added in lets say 50 cutscene-esque sidequests and chocobo's, people would have a lot more fun playing the game. But instead everything is just "run here, kill 5 normal mobs, run back".

So is there a reason that the quests are lacking so much when they are capable of making good ones?

To me they rushed to get content into the game. Thats what the majority voted for in the polls. So they quest we have are because of that. Go here, kill x amount of mobs. Later down the road hopefully we'll get some with Cut Scenes. For now were just getting basic quests.
