There are some quests that could stand to be cut from the MSQ without screwing with the lore. Make them sidequests; problem solved. However, my gripe is simply all the walking from A to B to A to C to OVER 9000! Heck, simply having a insta-Chocoporter in West Thanalan to the Scion's clubhouse would be a God send as it would leave the lore intact while making the player's life easier.
