Levelling seems messed up

Its a matter of player you are I guess, most want to accomplish something without really trying now a days. Damn this cupcake / snow flake generation.

Every time, without fail, in any thread that has complaints, there's this one person that says something like this. Wanting more interesting quests doesn't mean you're lazy, jesus. How is doing a large number of quests in a row that make you simply walk back and forth "really trying"?

Your right, it's not being lazy just people complain about it and act like it has not happened in the past. Could they be more interesting? well they tried adding CS and and actual story lines...guess what ? people still complain. So what does that want to tell you? People have nothing better to do than complain from my perspective.

These quests give too many simple walk and talk quests (with horrible plot points for doing that walking, since in most cases the LINKPEARL which is actually used DURING them would suffice) without anything unique in-between. Even something like "kill X of Y" or a small instance would make them way easier to go through.

Final Fantasy XIV, like all Final Fantasy games, is story heavy. But it is also an interactive game with RPG-style action in it. I am a fan of RPG games. I even play visual novels, some of which are literally just reading the story. But if I start a game where I want to actually interact with stuff, "act"...and the game gives me story cut into tiny bits for hours on end...that's horrid.

Most of these quests could be, without losing a single important detail, consolidated into just few larger quests that wouldn't feel as much of a chore. Just remove the unnecessary walking (just use that damned linkpearl to make the report about delivering X instead of going back to the sand, made to be way out there on purpose, only to go back to where you delivered that item right after) and continue the quest further, instead of separating one task into multiple.
