Not progressing your character? Well they werent designed to. But if you dont think the patch line quests advanced the story then you clearly werent paying attention. The quest line starts out slowly, but from roughly patch 2.3 on through the end in 2.55(so about 70 of those 100 quests) everything is picking up steam and all the important pieces are getting put into the positions they need to be in. The fact that we're still paying off bits from those quests in the SB patchline 4 years later alone shows that they put a lot of important details into those 100 quests. And on top of that, they even listened to player feedback, as the HW patchline was only about 50 quests(and SB is shaping up to be about the same length) so that the same roadblocks werent as severe moving forward. Were these quests perfect? Oh god no, and theres certainly room to do a little trimming. But they arent as bad as people make them out to be either.
