Hard pass.

I am all for tightening older content like they are doing for the next patch and wholeheartedly wish they continue to trim fat off the main story as the game ages (specifically removing stupid fetch quests or go there, talk to NPCs, come back here..don’t we have linkpearls for this exact reason!?)

There are many games where maxing out takes no time like guild wars. Love them, but they are built for that kind of play. FFXIV I much prefer the slow burn.

Of course just my opinion.
