Forcing players through MSQ content makes it un fun.

So far, 1-50, the story has been great, but the actual quests not so much. Like for every big moment, there's at least 20 quests where you have to pick up 8 things off the floor or kill 3 of x. You have a MSQ which is to make stew. Kill 3 hyppogrpyhs. Put them on the stew pot. examine the stew pot. take them off the stew pot.

That isn't story. It's filler

Exactly.

This is the type of thing I think can be taken out of the game and the major story progressing quests left in with a much larger exp bonus to compensate.
