Quest Hubs issues

[Vaer]

I did MSQ and side up to lvl 20 (pretty much 2 starting zones), then only MSQ. I finished ARR I was 60, so I only did MSQ in HW too. I was 64 at beginning of SB, so I burned through MSQ until far east, where I thought that only doing MSQ would leave me underlevelled due to lack of road-to-60 bonus. Which made side quests a necessity.

Thanks for the suggestion of alternative approaches, but the issue here is not what I can do now to sidestep the problem, but a suggestion to the devs to avoid it in future content.

That's the thing though. Other people might prefer the opposite (like some of the people in this thread don't mind the quests). Forcing them to change them so 75% of them are just fighting trash mobs (I find fighting them kind of dull since they usually aren't even a threat, it's like killing a striking dummy with maybe a circle or cone telegraph to dodge) is somewhat removing options or variety from people.

So maybe they can bring the ratio to 1:1, but there is already content that is geared toward killing things if efficiency isn't the problem but I suspect it is most of the problem.

Hunts which are somewhat what you are asking for basically skipping the bs and just killing mobs, so that is there as well, there is no text to skip, just tells you to kill a bunch of stuff for EXP. There are FATEs where a lot of them is literally just kill stuff, don't even have to read anything.

There is quite a bit of stuff that is for people that just want to kill things already. I just don't see the point in taking a hatchet to non combat content that other people like in the game just to add more stuff where you kill trash mobs that are almost no threat when there are already FATEs, hunts and tons of dungeons, trials, etc you can do.

I wouldn't care if they added a skip option but I personally don't find that it takes too long now just to spam through the text.
