That IS part of the story. It's not "filler content;" the story was designed to be released over a period of months with each new patch.

You like the story, but you don't like the story? 2.0 had even MORE pointless filler fetch quests than any of the future patches did. The story in 2.1-2.55 was much more to the point and moved faster than the original MSQ with less fluff.

Honestly, at this point you sound like you're just complaining that you can't have everything RIGHT NOW. 2.1-2.55 take a week at most to clear; my FC helped several people through it so they could be ready for HW and none of them took longer than a week to finish. Most people agree that the story in the later patches is far better than in 2.0, so if you liked 2.0 but not the story that followed, I don't know what to tell you.
