But this game isn't FFXI, last time I checked.

Can you point out how much pointless fluff is in the Heavensward MSQ? Because this is only an issue in the 2.1-2.2 patches. If it so obvious that they'll be putting "overdone tedious quests" into the game, why doesn't the 3.x MSQ reflect this?

Just because you don't agree with them, doesn't make those solutions any less legitimate. Besides, the jump potion sales in Asia indicate that it'd be mostly veteran players buying them to boost alts, and not new players. The way those story potions work is that the price lowers depending on how far you've gotten into the MSQ, and how much you'd be skipping.

Of course, you always have the choice to not make these many, many alts that require doing the MSQ many, many times, since the game is designed to allow a player to do everything on one character.
