Answer this are the quests for gaining access to dungeons really that enjoyable or rewarding? They are just time sinks. It is better to remove the barrier to entry to content and just create high quality challenging content that anyone can access. What exactly is being handed on a platter? You still have to actually complete the dungeon to earn any rewards.

I'm not saying some content shouldn't have some requirements but it just seems the way FF XIV is going, quests will be required to access any form of content and there simply to waste our time.
