So Long, Thanks for all the Fish

So, the main complaint is "WHY can't SE let me do the content that other players did over a year in just a day, tops?!" well, sorry those of us that played since 2.0 needed quests to keep us subscribed and occupied? That content is already nerfed to hell and back as is anyway. If it helps any the devs already said you won't need to do HW to do 4.0 unlike with 3.0 but if you wanted to jump straight into Heavensward (that is, 50+ MSQ) with no knowledge of 2.x... well, sorry, just don't ask "who's this? who's that? why do I care about this thing happening in Ul'dah?"

OP was complaining about the mass of pointless fetch quests in the main story.

The majority of which they removed following the MSQ of 3.0. By removing them, they essentially turned the 10-12 hour long 2.x patches into 5 hours long for 3.x patches. Sorry to the TC if he didn't see that SE was listening to the players over time.

To be fair, you still have to complete all those mindless fetch quests in ARR to get to HW. A significant complaint from newer players or those looking to try FFXIV is the grind to HW. This is the whole reason a jump potion has been discussed.
