My problem with leveling up in FFXIV.

If you don't love a game, then you should be open to the idea to the possibility that the game isn't for you. The OP has not expressed any love for FFXIV in his original post, nor has he requested any advice in it. If people continue to do thing that make them unhappy, they are going to continue to be unhappy. I've criticized Square Enix so many times on these forums already that's it's bizarre I could ever be labeled as a "white knight" for them.

Well, I don't love this game. I like it, there are many flaws with XIV but I'm not going to say nothing here
because I can't be asked to be screamed at over my opinion tonight lol.

But OP understands the amount of text and how it's a story-driven game and he even said that's okay
but one does get very tired of going from point A to B, then go to C, back to B and A again or some crap
and just wanna get on with the meat of the story or gameplay.
I think there was a point where there was one NPC I went to...
Just for me to teleport all the way back somewhere else. For like ONE line.
Crap gets annoying with all the random filler crap and teleporting all over.
Minfilia was REALLY bad at this! It was actually probably her LOL.
(Not to mention we have Linkpearls so quit yoyoing me across the world!)

The genre being what it is makes me think those kind of quests will never go away, it's a core part of the RPG experience. Certainly filler is bad but going from A to B to C is how game devs get mileage out of the huge worlds they create.
