No way by Hel's Holiest of Bells am I reading all 15 pages of this, so forgive me if it's already been said. Made an alt to play through the reworked MSQ. It takes just under 24 hours of gameplay to get through all of ARR plus the 7AE patchquests to get to the start of Heavensward. What more do you want them to cut? ALL of ARR and 7AE? Even Heavensward doesn't take too terribly long.

That said, no point really debating story vs gameplay and which is better. There's two camps, there will always be two camps, and neither side will see eye to eye with the other no matter how much talking, debating, arguing, screaming, shouting, yelling, and/or shanking is done. I myself am here for the story first, everything else second. If I could grind it up and inject it straight into my brain, I would. But hey, you lot do you lot.

Again though, 24 hours from the time you ride into Ul'dah until the time you ride out of [redacted] and into [redacted]. I think it's truncated enough.
