yeah ill have to agree about the storyline quests in some cases for example the level 50 ones when youre trying to move to the heavensward expansion and theres literally like 200 quests that give 4.8k exp which is nothing in level 50; https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/w...ral_Era_Quests

the way they designed the game with the armoury bonus or whatever (where you get bonus exp leveling a new class if your highest class level is higher than it scaling with the difference between the levels) means that they want you to choose a main class which you will level up until 60 or higher then you can start looking at new classes.

combat early does feel really slow and unfun but gets pretty fukkin complicated with those higher level new classes such as samurai, ninja or red mage.
