Remove Guildhests from Main Story

I learnt a lot spanning those. Was my first mmo, I felt I learnt something new from each one.

I feel kinda the same.


They were supposed to be done when you were level 10, 15, 20, 25, ... and so on.
To teach you some mechanics handling while in a party.
And giving extra exp (quite big one) for 1st time clears of each hest.


But it seems many people now just skip them altogether and when they are level 50 they realize they must do the lv40-45 one (or whatever it is) to unlock something else.
At this point the exp is worthless since you are lv50 and exp-capped, and the DPS queues can take quite long, making people frustrated.


While I do understand that for new players there is a huge amount of content to do and guildhests may not be what most people want to do (although i do like them), I think it's still the player's fault of having skipped this content entirely while it was relevant to their learning and leveling.
Due to this, in the end they got into a situation which required them to do 10 guildhests, from level 10 to 45, to keep going on whatever quest needs this unlocked, which they hate.

There is nothing there that tells you to do them, or that they'll become mandatory later.

I got the quest, did it, and it unlocked them, but not once was I told "queue for this and do it or your progression will be hardlocked".

Every other instance case, the main quest story(which is pretty much the only quest line I've done the entire way up) is hard locked until you do the instance that that part is in.

For all intents and purposes, it's optional content. Optional content that has horrid queue times and is compounding the problem I have with the MQ in general.

They actually make you double back on some previous/lower level 'optional' dungeons when you're level 50 too so the hests aren't the only things.
