Just my opinion of course, I understand a lot of people dislike it.
Still, Alphinaud has an entire organization at his hands by this point. And the Scions are doing...what exactly besides standing around in the Rising Stones all the time? The amount of "Run to this point, kill some trash, come back" quests is ridiculous this time around. I agree that if all we did was go around killing primals the player character wouldn't seem human, but the way everyone in the game treats you like you aren't human either by dumping everything on you (Though at least starting with 2.3 we started to get a "Thank you" and some minor acknowledgement, before we didn't even have that) is equally bad. That and with all the stuff going on with the Immortal Flames in this patch I was sort've disappointed that GC allegiances will probably never be brought up in the main story or serve as anything but "Which gear do you have access to".
