It happens in all MMOs with a quest grind progression, there's not one MMO that didn't end up having it's quest quality drop off as you progressed.

Hell, Yoshida even said that internal testing there's still not enough, so it could go either way in terms of quality (you either want quantity or quality, it's very hard to do both as proven by recent MMOs), but people seem to be thinking we'll get hundreds of top quality quests to progress through when not even story focused MMOs achieved that.
I don't see the point of arguing over "questing" or "grinding" when both accomplish the required leveling to reach end-game. If 2.0 has solo content and, group content (with the rewards for group content being more lucrative) everyone will be happy. However, imo the best thing to look forward to is experiencing the bulk of the storyline while the content is relevant.
