Funnily enough I'd actually agree but not for the reason I think you're saying it.
I think people are overly negative for no reason about the MSQ and it seems to be true even when Streamers who go in with a negative mentality play it.
So many of them say that they heard so much bad shit about ARR but ended up actually enjoying it a lot and don't get the negativity at all, certain parts of the MSQ are not actually as bad as people say they are imo.

I think people just know how much better it gets in hindsight and they're worried people will give up on it early and not get to see the better stuff so that's why they say that.



I honestly think the issue is moreso that people are simply not engaging with what's there and are too used to having games force them to do stuff.
And when a game doesn't do that they feel confused and lost.
People say this but then never touch Savage, Extremes, PoTD, HoH ( I actually forgot I haven't yet ), different Jobs and their story, Professions, Eureka and Bozja, Relics, Fate trains, Hunts, The Diadem, different side-quest storylines, the Gold Saucer, mount collecting, minion collecting, glam farming including doing other Savage and Extremes etc etc.

You have an immense amount of content available to you most of which is VERY backwards compatible.
What would you be doing different in WoW tho?
Grinding rep or whatever?
As you yourself said whether it's fun or not might be another story and in WoW you'd be compelled to do it but is that really a good thing?
FFXIV has grinds too with more fun and permanent rewards especially Eureka which is legit fun and completely underrated imo.
I think a lot of people would be legit surprised if they just gave things a chance.

I'd really suggest people expand their horizons a bit and maybe get outside of their comfort zone and try content they haven't instead of waiting for the game to tell them what to do.
I also like the side story content a lot, I did the WAR one recently because I had skipped it and I was legit surprised and it made me laugh a lot.
Ive done savage. Ive done crafting and gathering. Ive done mount collecting. Again, im asking for THIS EXPANSION. not something 2-3 expansions ago. Yes ive also done like, 6 eureka relics, my bozja relics etc, Ive done a fair amount of anima relics as well. So please tell me.What is there to do now in this expansion.
