Complaining about a game doesn't always mean that you hate said game or that the game isn't for you, sometimes people complain about games because they're passionate about said games and wish to see them improve. Telling OP that the game isn't for them without bothering to have a proper conversation with them is just shutting down what could have been a positive discussion.

To OP: The story has a lot less filler once you enter Heavensward. Also, I would like to point out that Yoshi P actually agrees with your stance. He has talked about wanting to trim down those ARR quests to make the storyline more enjoyable.
To be fair I'm lvl 58 on my summoner and I'm in heavensward now. In fact I just got to a point that I can't move forward until I hit 59. It's more interesting that ARR for sure but the msq still takes a lot of running around talking to people and whatnot. And that's ok, it just seems like when I have an hour or two to play and I spend that time reading and traveling....well it feels like I'm not actually playing I guess.
