Why are people still upset over having to do MSQ for Heavensward?

The exp you get from the 2.0 to 3.0 is trivial I don't even know why they bothered

Level 1-50 msq is fine it's paced well and rewards a ton of exp , the issue is with the 2.0 quests they were intended to be done in blocks over the course of ARR which would be tolerable though mindless fetch questing is unesesary . However a new player will hit 50 and find themselves having to churn through hundred of mindless quests this does nothing more than degrade the narrative and make many people outright quit.

It's only going to get worse if you want a healthy population it needs to be addressed .

Leveling only by questing in 3.0 is trivial. Trust me, every little bit of exp you can come into 3.0 with helps.
