Sometimes, I just want to quest.

[Retrograde]

Quests, like the kind where you pick up 6 coins off the ground? Or perhaps the long and difficult ones where you pick up a bucket, drop the bucket in water, fill the bucket, pick up the bucket, and hand it to someone? Now I admit I have a soft spot for kill 66 enemies while using the rusted greatsword and perhaps kill 5 of each of three types of monsters, but if SE doesn't pick up the difficulty on these a bit, I'd rather they don't put anymore quests back in the game at all. We know they can do good ones because many of the duties/quest steps are fairly clever and have a nuanced aspect, but FFXIV open world quests are awful compared to most MMOs.

I find FATEs much more interesting than "kill three coblyns", when the challenge of doing the "kill three coblyns" has been taken out because there is no competition since everyone is swarming FATEs.
