We should get exp boost in the game.

We're taking about the MSQ right, because I feel like most the fetch quests were more related to side-quests and thus mostly optional.

There were a fair amount of fetch quest busy work type stuff in ARR, a lot of it being in the patches. In base ARR, there was everything around the lead up to the Titan fight. It was justified narratively but it was still tedious as hell. And then in the patches, there were multiple quests that felt like busy work. The one that stuck with me the most was a quest that was basically just "Hand out tea to the scions one by one". Then theres all the shenanigans you gotta do with Tataru, like when she decides to be a miner, you go out and protect her from some morbols I think, and then she decides "Nah, mining isn't for me". And thus ends that subplot.
