The removed parts of ARR MSQ didn't save any time at all

Wrong is, that when I want to read something, I just go and read the book. When I want to watch a movie, I just go and watch movie. But when I want to play the game I want to come and play the game. Not want to have to read the story for few months that is not even really interesting for me to be honest. Is it a game after all or just an overpriced interactive book?
Game itself is really nice - I have played it for 1700 hours and I'm not planning to stop it any time soon, even though it has it's big downsides, such as paywalled cosmetics and difficult raids. Though resolving second problem is much less pain than dealing with the boring story.
I don't even want to imagine the amount of people that quit the game due to being bored of the story before even reaching shadowbringers.

I thought I recognized you. You say the game starts at 80 and you want to play the game and not have to struggle through story. But you also were complaining that the game was too difficult and got combative when ppl tried to give you advice or just told you to actually take the time to play the game and learn mechanics.

So I am confused. You do not want to sit through the story because you want to play the game, but you do not want to take the time into content that the game requires, aka play the game, to get the bis gear you feel you deserve. So what exactly do you want? What have you been doing for 1700 hours if you do not want to put time into the story or the content?

I already got all the bis gear I needed. The complaint that raids are a bit too difficult doesn't means I won't do them. It's just my review that they are too difficult for what they give.
That is a conversation for another thread, though.

24 mans are a face roll with the exception of TG in Orbanne before the nerf. CT honestly is just run spank the bosses in each segment and you are done even with a bunch of sprouts. The most difficult boss tbf in CT is angru manyu in the WoD. it's not as bad as you think it is.

Sounds like...they don't want to play the game? They appear to be complaining that everything is too much effort.
