While I understand people got frustrated with arr filler quests (even I feel a bit frustrated too back then), I think they also forgot that 2.1-2.5 is 2 years worth of content. Each patch drop, then wait for 3 months before the next came. Of course it will be much more bearable. Now that people are complaining about how long it is, our current patch only got 10 short quests, which can be done in less than a day.
