I respectfully disagree with the people saying that RPGs aren't for OP.

I'm a legacy player and absolutely love this game. But there is no denying that a lot of the quests, specially the ones near the end of ARR are incredibly daunting and don't really contribute all that much to the overall story of the game. For a new player it must be incredibly frustrating to be stuck doing 100+ fetch quests while friends and FC mates are off doing more exciting content.

Filler quests/menial tasks are fun when sprinkled on with the rest of the story (like they did in Shadowbringers) but the way they were handled in those ARR lvl.50 quests is just awful. I don't have a link to it, but I believe one of the recent live letters addressed this problem. That is, they're planning on trimming a lot of those quests lvl.50 quests to make the story more enjoyable to new players.
