As we know they trimmed roughly 30% of the ARR grind but we need further changes until we can get an actual full revamp of it.

1. Voice acting. It is seriously lacking. Some of your FF14 players are actual voice actors and will probably do this for free. Just add it already.

2. Reduce the amount of teleporting. Do this by deleting quest that are effectively fetch quest. This makes the world seem small and it is pretty obvious to notice.

These two fixes would help a lot.
Have you done ARR since they trimmed it down? I am currently on level 46ish MSQ on my alt and I can say it is MILES better than it was, much less fetching pointlessly it feels like. Overall the pace feels much nicer so far and I am really enjoying it. The reason people suggest to Asmon to boost is because the guy doesn't care about story, he has said as much in his streams. If you are a player that doesn't like story and only cares for the raiding aspect. Then boosting past level 50 where the combat is slower is not such a bad idea for that individual.
