Should I insist in the game?

[TyrTry]

So, after dropping the game a couple years back, I decided to give it another go.

I enjoyed the combat (it starts slows but gets better as you get more powers), the aestethics... but, around the time of my tenth "run half way across the world to talk to some guy just so he can tell you do go back all the way and talk to the other guy" kind of quest, I pretty much gave up on the story. I decided to just watch a video or something and try to rush it to reach with my friend who have more time to play and finished arr quest to unlock jobs.

I am currently lvl 42, doing the lvl 28 msq, and I am pretty much burnt. I can't handle the fetch quests, I missed most of the story, and find myself in the same spot I was the first time I dropped the game (coincidently I checked and my character was 37 at that time, so probably around the same place in msq).

Long story short is: if I get a story skip potion, will I be able to enjoy the game? Do the quests after ARR change from the unbearable fetch quests? Or is this game just not for me?

From reddit it seens even though most people thing arr msq can be quite dragged, a lot of them also say that this is a story game and If I am not enjoying it so far it might not be for me. And I don't want to dish even more money on the game if I am past the point of enjoying it.

It seems you already have your mind made up. I can't tell you if you will or won't enjoy the game simply by buying a skip potion. The primary elements will stay regardless of whatever expansion you end up playing just with tweaked mechanics and aesthetic changes.

TLDR; you get a quest, you complete that quest, and you get exp or money. Do the fetch quest get significantly less in later expansions? Absolutely, but they're still present. Does the story "get better" in later expansions? Depends on who you ask.

If the story is not for you, then there is plenty the game has to offer other than the story elements; you just have to slog through the story to get many of those offers available to you.
