A lot of it is setting up things to come that arent always immediately obvious. You watched several scenes of political debate and scheming in Ul Dah which seemed to go no where, then you get invited to a dinner party by the sultana and a lot of things come to a head. You spent 2 patches doing jobs for the ishgardians and earning their trust, then you kinda get dumped into the middle of the dragonsong war(which is where a lot of their distrust for outsiders comes from). You spent a patch or two helping out the doman refugees in their journey to find a home and get settled, then the current expansion takes you to doma. A lot of important things actually happen or get set up in the 2.x line, it just isnt all obvious or immediate.

This! I dislike fetch quests and the back and forth tedium as much as the next person, but I think people forget, and/or don’t realize how much build up is in the ARR MSQ.
