Posted this in another thread as well.

People act like its still an occurring thing. Ever since patch 3.1 the filler quests are nonexistent! Also without the MSQs how would you level up quickly? The reason there are so many of them is to get you to lvl cap without having to do much else. I blame the players for this one since they are so used to fetch quests for exp, in the end we got quantity over quality for MSQs so people could level up quicker.

So lets say we only get a story skipper and not a level up potion, you honestly think people are going to stick around and just FATE/run dungeons they don't even know anything about to lvl up? In the end both options are horrible and this whole omg new players crap needs to stop.
