Is this the norm for mmos

Yes this is very very common. However unlike most mmos, you won't suffer too much if you are a little bit behind on new content.

Honestly with this game, I'd encourage being a bit behind unless you're in a world first static.

I've found this game extremely dull once completing the main content... playing since 1.0, I myself am rushing out of instinct, but even then I think I'm done for doing so as my raid days came to an end.

Relax, with the new changes find a job you really like, and do what you really enjoy in the game. If anything avoiding content is the way to go considering how packed every NPC is

Thats what I had been planning Im a tank main so I know I could easily finish the msq in less than a week with all the instant ques and df giving tons of exp and front lines giving alot as well. Im level 64 on my pali, but my plan was to level a dps with the msq exp sense I dont really need it on my tanks with how the que times are. But I also wanted to level rdm and sam to 60 cause I really enjoy the game play of both the new jobs.

I ran into hurdles like everyone else with gettin kicked from the game multiple times even had to re download the game cause I unplugged it and my ps4 forced me to re-download the whole game for 6 or 7 hours so I missed alot of leveling time(a major glitch) . If I had no hopes for any endgame I would def go as slow as possible , I just dont wana be lacking when it comes to when I get to the new primals when everyone else may already have them on farm. But I just cant help but think this is the bulk of the game at least the story part, five quest per patch if you like msq at all is just not good design in my opinion.

The game is meant to be played at an enjoyable pace, patches are meant to be time sinks. That's why relic weapon quests take forever...until they nerf them when they are about to become obsolete glam items. It's there to keep you with something to do until the next expansion. Find why you play and do that. The way Squeenix makes this game there are always people running the current content no matter where you are in the MSQ. The only things that are hardish to do are old raid content.

It really just boils down to preference or goals. Personally I chose to get through the MSQ and level my main to 70 and start end game content where as many in my FC decided to level a SAM or RDM as the first thing to do. It also didnt help that instances were messed up for the EA so while I was able to get past the Raubahn and Pipin gates others could not and just leveled.
