    No, those quests are fine and are already short enough as is. Remember, after The Ultimate Weapon, every 20 quests or so for MSQ leading up to Ishgard is the equivalent of one giant patch.

    2.1? 20 new Main story quests.
    2.2? 20 more.

    This repeated until the final quest before Heavensward. So remember, you're basically going through various big patches before reaching HW, the story was ALREADY condensed reaching there.

    Condense the 1-49 MSQs while we're at it. 85% is filler content that I would happily skip on subsequent characters in favor of FATE or dungeon grinding or side quest grinding.

    Three weeks at 50 doing MSQ? You can get through them in a few days of moderate playtime. So the OP is massive hyperbole.

    As someone who is on the lvl 50 msq quests on my alt, I don't see the problem. Then again I enjoyed the main storyline.
    I don't think they're that bad at all. In fact, they go by really quickly and... I hate to be the one to tell you this but for some of us those 'pointless filler fetch quests' are fun. =\

    Having just finished going from 1-50 and finishing the ARR storyline I can safely say I've experienced far worse than what it took. Plus if you actually bother to read the quests those senseless fetch quests have reasons for existing. This game is very much so storyline oriented, I can see it becoming tedious if you skip through everything and just want to instantly hit up the highest level hardest raid but unfortunately there's a process to go through with this game if you're that kind of impatient. It could be condensed a bit sure but most of the fetch quests make sense so it's not really necessary. JM2C

    What if they condensed them in a way that didn't remove any of the actual questing?
    For example, I just did 3 quests. All of them were "start in this location, teleport to another, get one thing/talk to one person there, teleport back"
    Why not just make all 3 teleports 1 quest, giving the character use of the linkperl to explain why they know to go to another location without returning? I mean, instead of returning after EVERY teleport, you'd only return once, cutting down not only on the total of pointless TP's, but less loading screens (which are my main cause of irritation when MSQ sends me on fetch quest, it's dead gametime)

    If you take away the warrior of lights fetch quests you risk a universal collapse, WoL would not know what to do with him/herself. Besides that they are easy, don't touch things that don't need touched just because they make people slow down for a few minutes.

    That is the issue. If you have a second character or playing catchup its ridiculous.

    If I were just starting the game, I would be very upset to learn that the main story was condensed. I love the story and lore, so losing out on even a little bit of it frustrates me. I get bummed out when I accidentally skip talking to an npc who's dialog changes from quest to quest, let alone if I learned that whole segments of dialog, story, or events were removed.

    Like I suggested in my post above, condensation doesn't necessarily have to be removal of content, it could simply be the mixing of similar quests to save running, tp, and load screen encounters. Though you have a rather good point there.
