Based on your past posts I get the impression that what you really want is a single player game. That's not a bad thing, but considering that I really wonder why you play MMOs at all.
I had no problem playing XI's story despite all the hurdles it had and with only a slightly bigger time (around 8 hours per week), so that's not really the issue here. Logging on with an irregular schedule isn't a problem, the problem is the constant repetition which is aggravated by how much the fights are scripted and due to certain rotations which are supposed to be fixed in the expansion.

You're assuming that the Ascians are the main focus and everything else is fluff, but that's not necessarily true. Just because the Ascians are part of the overarching story doesn't make them inherently more important than anything else. Personally I'd be happy too see them go. I find the whole Ascian thing annoying and stupid anyway.
There aren't the only thread, but simply the game has too many stories to follow, and the expansion will add even more, obviously. The Ul'dah's issues for example (still present as of HW's ending) aren't being explored again, as of now.
People will argue everything you dislike about this game but one thing. It is in pretty much everyone's post that is unhappy or left the game. They will pick apart everything you say and totally ignore the real cause. It is the scripted battles and how repetitive tomes grinding is.. All the changes I talk about is minor to how boring Scripted battles and tome grinding is. IT IS SOO boring as hell. That it for me it is why I have a hard time sticking to the game.
I can already feel my self going: I do not need that last gear, I do not want to run expert duty finder again.. In FFXI I always wanted that one piece better gear even if it was +1 stat.
I left for six months almost and I finished up pretty much everything now in a couple of weeks. I have not done Alexander Savage and Hildy quest but Hildy will be done tonight.
I also have not opened Deep dungeon yet and I also need to open one more beast tribe.
Hildy is great even though it has gone down hill a little bit. They just seem to be sticking less time into them. This one reason I keep coming back too.
Another thing that could improve in this game is making food useful.. They do well for craters which use allot of food but not battle classes. I rarely see anyone take food before a dungeon. It would be such a plus to culinary.
Some of the fun is gone too for me because Tesee just aint into it this time and she was before. I think it is not having her house. Now yeasterday she was really upset again. She went and grabbed another retainer to put all her housing stuff on and found out they dumped her house stuff, All her event stuff is gone.. She was really bummed out.
