Final Fantasy fans: how do you know it sucks if you skip the cut scenes?
Anti MSQ people: it makes it too hard for newbies to get into the game!
Final Fantasy fans: how does that make the MSQ suck?
Anti MSQ people: these guys are so unreasonable I give up!

the arr story up until the prelude to heavensward stuff sucks. particularly 2.1 to about 2.4. a lot of running around doing unnecessary delivery quests to the point where even NPCs crack jokes about it. i got my fiance into the game recently and all through 2.x i had to tell them that everything gets better in heavensward simply because that bit of the story is just so... tedious. it absolutely turns new players off.

its a bit disingenuous to dismiss everyones issues with the msq as unreasonable
