Right now there are approx 50 quests which require you to run around the entire world and take forever to do.
I could probably farm the equivilent of the rewards for 45 of them combined in under 2 hours with a brand new char just by farming marmots.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but have you actually done the quests? What rewards have you got that you consider good?
Best i found were crystals, 14000ish gil and a rank 40ish robe .
Truth be told, I haven't done all the quests, I've done only one and the item I got was a brass choker, which is a pretty good item. I don't want to play until the new battle system is in place. There are some people that don't want to run around farm, they want to interact with the world. To them that's completing a quest, getting a little lore, and getting a reward. Like I said, just because they're worthless to you doesn't mean they're worthless for everyone.
