There's a lot of that going on. Back in ShB they also got rid of job quests and went with this role quest nonsense. Mind you, in ShB, the role quests tied into the MSQ very nicely. Also, part of their excuse was that it wouldn't make much sense for our job "mentors" in Eorzea to be in The First to give us quest objectives. That same excuse was valid for DoH/L classes.

However, in EW, they have no such excuse. Essentially, back in SB we had 55 DoH/L class quests and about 75 DoW/M job quests. That's 130 quests. Yes, it is a lot of work on their end. However, with the addition of 2 more jobs in EW, we only saw 24 role quests and 16 DoH/L quests. That's a steep drop from 130 quests (SB) and then adding two jobs and dropping the quests to just 40.

It is only a convenient excuse. SE's adds new jobs to get people subbed and buying expansions. If that requires more work on their end, they should be doing it. Instead of this role quest nonsense.
