Having to slog through lvl 50 quests is tedious

[Hasrat]

It's all a matter of opinion, of course. I find them boring because all I'm doing is delivering stuff. Basically, just fetch quests. There was even one quest that had me looking for tea leaves. Tea leaves!

You just described a significant chunk of all other quests in all other parts of the game. Go here, interact with the thing, talk with NPC, go back, talk with same NPC, talk some more, kill a few things, go back again, talk again, interact with more things.

It's an MMO. How much depth do you expect?

I mean, I get it. Half the conversations ever could take place over linkpearl, and Twelve, do I hate consecutively talking to the same NPC instead of just having the game auto-transport us together and continue the conversation.

Idk. I guess I'm in the other group of players that doesn't understand the hate. Didn't feel any worse than any other point in the game. Seemed to me to just be a natural continuation of the story, the denouement after the climax before tensions build again leading to HW. Because that's how tension cycles work.

I expect to have better context like the rest of the fetch quests in the game. They usually have personal stories involved, or tell you about the land and its history, or about the people that currently live there. Why a settlement exists, what do they eat, what's in the name, what are common issues, etc. Watching Tataru fail at various jobs and picking up the wrong aether crystal for the third time is a waste of time for everyone involved.
