I'm all for more story content. I love ffxi storylines, and a bit part of why I loved ffxi was the grinding with group mates. I maybe the minority but with so many pointless questing type games, I am happy SE has still stuck somewhat to the route of grouping for xp. I don't care for quest, I don't need quest to tell me what to do. The base majority doesn't even read quest when they do them. They look at the reward, what needs to be killed, what needs to be collected and they do it. So would you be happy if SE put in a bunch of quest that were pretty much..

"Hello Adventurer! Damn Crabs are taking over the local species of Birdonxians,. The Crabs have a huge hunger for the Birdonxians Eggs, which we live on as a part of our normal diet. Please, get a group of fellow Adventurers and go kill 450 of these evil Crabs, and while your at it, bring back some of the Birdonxians Eggs that they clutch under there undershell. When you done, please run these Eggs to the three capitals, and talk to there respective lead culinarians! Do this and I'll reward you this nifty armor you will replace in a couple level, and 7000 xp!!!"
