The point is why have they chosen to continue this plan when they know they can't fix it and it is a bad system.
Because the game is not like other MMO's. It has a flowing narrative like a traditional FF. It isn't like WoW where the world is changing and growing despite if you are online or not. It being a bad system is purely subjective. I thoroughly enjoy this form of questing and I can vouch that a good amount of others do also.

The best you can ask for is make the transition to each expansion not as bloated as 2.1-2.55. Even then, getting from 3.1 to 3.4 is very fast especially if you skip the scenes.
