Did you think guild leves were fun ?

Those are the garbage quests instead of having normal quests garbage.

Quest based leveling mmos still often give you other ways of leveling. For example when I played WoW I didn't care for quests that much I leveled up a Paladin and a Hunter with questing. I wanted to level a DK but no I wasn't going to go through those same boring quests again. So what I did was finished my starting area. Went tank, got instant queues as a tank in dungeon finder spammed dungeons until I was at level cap. Did it pretty casually too only took a week of playing a few hours each day. So when I was level capped I hardly did any quests on my DK.

It sounds like FFXIV will give you choices, dungeons, quests, or mob grinding, so I don't see the big deal about complaing about quests so much because you get choices.
