A lot of older players may not realize how long these chains are..and 80% of the quests are pointless fetch quests that could be removed at no cost to the storyline.

I think the story is O.K, but the problem is that the MSQ chain is around 12 irrelevant, lengthy fetch quests in a row, and then suddenly "oh a primal was summoned, go kill it!" for the last 3. I've been level 50 for like..3 WEEKS and I'm just past Ramuh..which is like half way through. :/ If I had been bothering to do the duty roulette every day, I would probably be lv60...

I mean, it's a neat idea with how they decided to gate Heavensward, but there is just way too much pointless filler in this needlessly lengthy quest chain and I'm having a hard time staying interested (after I enjoyed Lv1-50 a ton).
