I think you didn't read or skimmed what I posted or maybe I explained it poorly. I also understand some ppl see a feature from WoW or FFXI being asked for an have the knee jerk reaction of, "Not in MY game, go play FFXI/WoW if you want that, but its not welcome here!" which is funny considering how much in XIV is already borrowed from those 2 games, and idk if you feel that way or not, so let me again explain.

That is why I stated important things, not all blue quests. Class to job unlocks at level 30, chocobo and chocobo npc, retainer ventures and deep dungeons that is 5 pre-50 that get unlocked at different times and only more if you get another class to 30, which stilll isn't horrible and spread out to the point you could even throw gold saucer, PVP and maps in there. At 50 there would be HW msq, extremes, coil, scrips/master crafter (if crafting gathering is high enough so half at best new players would get this), and CT. 60 would have Stb MSQ, Void Ark, warring triad, Eureka, Alex, 70 would be ShB MSQ, Ivalice, Omega, HoH, Bozja, etc etc. The only ones I would exclude are blue quests that unlock with msq progression and are right next to msq, the weapons trial series for instance.

Mind you these would not all unlock at the exact same time, esp pre-50 since the new expac MSQ isn't unlocked until after all the patch content and outside of a new expac they can even cancel these so you only get a pop up for the first new expansion or new patch quest since they unlock where the previous one ends. Some also require certain other conditions to be met, so there wouldn't necessarily be 5 things popping up at once unless you are active enough that having 5 pop up at once would most likely be exciting. If you are overwhelmed by a handful of quests that unlock as you progress then idk what to tell you. Inundating a player with quests for every dungeons, every classless job unlock, every aether current, etc yes would be overwhelming, that is why I specifically stated important or large content piece quests. I have gotten 2 or 3 at the same time in WoW and it's a non issue. I couldn't imagine this being that stressful for any player and we really shouldn't refuse to help everyone because 1 or 2 ppl may get upset at a 2 quest boxes popping up at the same time, cause if you do get that freaked out by it, you frankly have a lot bigger problems to sort out.
