Being behind on 8-12 hours of cutscenes on your main if you take a small break is starting to become overwhelming.

I had a savage alt on Aether for all of Shadowbringers but I abandoned it in Endwalker because I hated the MSQ so much. Granted I watched every cutscene, but even skipping cutscenes it would still be the most monotonous, time wastey, pointless run around sequence of gameplay in the entire game including the original 2.x patches. The MSQ sucked so bad I quit raiding on Aether.

If I'm supposed to sink 40 hours into a game it better not have any filler, not be 90% filler.
