Are we playing the same game?
I wanted to say the same thing, but thinking about it further, a major part of the 5.4 Limsa quest is about pirates and how they are impacted by the current situation with Garlemald.
It also provided a bit of character development for Merlwyb, which I am not sure was really needed for the main scenario yet, as much as I liked getting it...
I think this is what made it feel like 'filler' to some people, not the cure for tempering itself.
