You mean Incarnam quests? They serve as an introduction to a core principle of the game : killing shit to loot resources and craft stuff. Since there are many professions to showcase you got a fair amount of quests. If you aren't a slowpoke it shouldn't take that long. Main quests after that are very different.
Also this is not a WoW clone or something by the way. You aren't obligated to do quests. They can be skipped entirely by just buying whatever they reward.
