>>4888475This reads like a /v/tard post. Of course the base game is a slog, it's a clunky mess hastily put together to save SE from bankruptcy again. It's also a slog because it actually has to build a fucking world so that the expansions actually make sense and have impact on the player. Your experience with castrum/praetorium is that way because newfags would get left behind by actual speedrunners.
Ina knows that even after the quest cullings, arr is still a grind, but it's a necessary one. It absolutely is not a good part to stream and will likely make the process take even longer. If they were smart (and if Anya really wants to go through with it) they'd only stream the very beginning and the ending of arr and do the rest off stream. Expansions they wouldn't have as much an issue with if other xiv streamers are anything to go off of
