As good as HW story is the gameplay in the MSQ is lacking. I hear FFXIV players tell new players that "it gets better after you reach HW". Does it really get better? I mean the story does but the MSQ gameplay remains the same.

After Shadowrbringers it got a little better, but I think that was mainly because they introduced the bicolor gemstones to fates and it kind of broke the monotony a little bit. Regardless, I don't think they will ever spend resources on overhauling the MSQ from previous expansions, but on ARR since is technically the new player experience they definitely should.

And I don't think we should sacrifice current content so they can work on ARR. The player count has grown significantly and so has their revenue, so they should be able to manage both. Besides is not a pressing need to it can be done slowly over the course of the next couple of years.
You playing ff for the story that what ff is known for it story I understand arr is boring but u should know what u getting yourself into before u play this game it has alot cs and writing that is for every jrpg out there.
