Some of them are needed because of how they contribute to the story, but a lot of them could be cut. I think they should be thinned down. It's not the greatest experience.

Some of it could probably be cut, but not easily. It is all there for a reason.
Some of the stories told in the 2.1 - 2.55 patches could perhaps be told in a different way, but just cutting them would leave holes in the story structure.
Unfortunately rewriting/restructuring those quests would involve a LOT of work, so that will not happen.
It sometimes seems I am the only one who actually liked those quests and the stories told. I am actually looking forward to playing through that content once again on an alt I am currently leveling.



You're not alone. I've played through ARR on 4 characters now and still enjoy the patch stories. From the big things like the set up for the Dragonsong War to the small moments like befriending the Doman children I like those quests and would hate to see them drastically altered/removed.
I can support allowing players to skip them and start HW if they really aren't interested since it seems like a lot of players are frustrated by these quests. I can't see SE spending resources to remake them in a more succinct way.
