Square you need to streamline the main story

It still won't solve the issue because the moment Stormblood is released there is another 150 quests added to the MSQ and since the launch of HW they have been pretty good on keeping low on filler quests. Anything filler was relegated to sidequests. Even most of the primals were.

Not really look at where we are now the equivalent is 44 quests and nowhere near as grindy as ARR at the same stage. It's the biggest complaint I see from new people in novice chat and new players in my FC. Most quit during that stage too.

Indeed. As they struggle through 2.1 I have urge them on and promise them that it gets better to encourage them.

It's one of the most common complaints.

And no, a jump potion isn't a solution to this. For people who do want to do the MSQ, this is still a struggle.

It is nothing to do with BEING LAZY! it EATS too much time doing it over and over and over and over again. When you have to teleport to say grid, or whatever, then whitebrim, ( dragonhead port) to mordhona, to uldah, to whitebrim, then to the dragonhead camp (meaning having to travel from whitebrim to the minidragonhead camp just adds to the annoyance, is the reason it took me TWO weeks to clear the 50 quests on ama. Doing the travels once or twice, you have a point, but not doing it 1000 times over, that is unnecessary repetitiveness and tediousness. It has nothing to do with being lazy and EVERYTHING to do with gating for NO REASON. I was already level 60 suck on these level 50 MSQ quests. that is nonsense gating. What I said about travel is part of the reason adding to the go here, go there, pointless fetch quests. HW did not have you deal with this -.-

Why do people like to be so darn toxic on these boards? I am just trying to help the game be better. Was these posts missed and just here to blindly insult people?:

Now multiply that by 100 quests.

Have you done the MSQ recently? I don't think you realize how much of this crap there is.

There is NO REASON to gate someone out of HW areas especially when they are level 60 because they have not done 100+ mindless, useless level 50 MSQ quests that just has you run around. It is not enjoyable, has nothing to do with being lazy and people quit over it. I do not think you can call someone lazy who made an alt chr with i270 gear, 2 relic weapons and full ironworks. (about 4 million gil in materials btw) Pointing out something I did not enjoy, and lead others to quit the game is not lazy. Trying to have the game more attractive to new comers so we are not in a desert is not lazy. Trying to bring someone down with insults that is trying to suggest ways to make the game better is toxic and insulting though.

There is a reason this thread was made:

I started a new account and i understand why most of my friends quit this game before even entering Heavensward.
I even dare to say that at least 60% of the main quests are there to just waste time.
I know this is a story based MMORPG and i like that But not this way tbh.
I just saw Heavensward quests and there are 138 main quests, i wonder how many of them are filler up.

There are people out there that think the game is just fine how it is, so it comes down to personal opinion whether it will make the game better or not.

and thus we have proof to my point.
I am NOT commenting it for my self, i did the full thing TWICE! I am concerned about keeping new players. I almost gave up on ama cuz of those 50 quests. I was very frustrated with them.
