The story or the gameplay? Because all I wanted to do was play a fun MMO, get items and do dungeons with other people. Instead I did quests like hit 3 rocks with your basic ability. Great! Hit 3 more rocks with the same ability. Done? Now run between 4 NPCs and talk with each of them. Great, now kill 8 enemies over there. Run back, talk with 2 more NPCs. Run through the city and interact with 8 lamp posts, the interaction takes several seconds each, because why not? ....

I really tried to power through this absolute bullshit, but after a few hours I simply gave up. It only got worse, not better.

As you say Heavensward, I still hear that there is a ton of dumb quests then. Like the story is right at a critical point and they send you off on hours of fetch quests before you can continue?

It's true that it's very grindy with lots of fetch quests, but the actual story gets really good from then and on

I honestly don't care about the story that much in games. A good story is nice, if the gameplay is there. If the only thing that is actually good about the game is the story.. I'll just read a book instead.

The grind is kind of an MMO thing, it's not for everyone. Personally I enjoyed the gameplay while chilling with a friend and listening to music on the background
