I understand how it must seem when you're new and have to do all of the filler quests back to back. However, if you play through all of the patch cycles, the filler quests make quite a bit more sense. The devs were trying to give a decent chunk of MSQ each patch but on a 3 month cycle there's not a enough time to code more than 1 or 2 big trials (HM and EX) while also doing 3 dungeons. Unfortunately, that leads to filler quests having to be utilized more. Having subscribed since ARR release, I looked forward to doing the MSQs every 3 months to have a change of pace for a night or 2 and the filler quests weren't nearly as obnoxious when you had to do 5 or 10 for cutscenes, kill the primal of the patch and move along.
