Okay, I usually avoid trying to be a forum warrior, but this is just out of hand now.
Storm King's Thunder. We all know it, most of us hate it, it's time for a change. The gear is obsolete. There's little point to the campaign except the boons now, and the opportunity to run FBI and Svardborg. Running the same few quests over and over and over again for little to no real return, except to fill out the daily "do three quests" requirement is agonizing.
There is literally NO excuse for it to take as long as it does. Svardborg unlocks at 400 reputation. The Glyph and Supply campaign options are obsolete and worthless. The final boon unlocks at 850 reputation, by the time you get there, you long since finished the campaign itself. Four weeks, a month and no more, to start it, run it, and complete it. That's all it should be. The only thing of genuine value is the boons, and due to the difficulty involved in the mobs, FBI, and Svardborg, by the time a toon is capable of staying alive in the two instances, let alone being able to fight and actually make the scoreboard respectably, that person has run Chult and Raven. They're at least wearing Primal gear or even 520 gear from Ravenloft. They may even have one or more Chult, River, and Raven boons in place.
Give out more reputation per week. 100 rep is reasonable, that would still require 8 1/2 weeks to complete, or even better, just make it a flat four week, 28 day, run from start to finish. Don't nerf the boons, just alter the issuance of reputation to 100 a week.
Please stop wasting our time on obsolete content already.
Aaaand....let the flaming and burning of me begin...I'm ready for it.

As someone that ran it on two toons my advice would be avoid running it at all costs. Boons aren't that great. Even if they accelerated it I would never step foot there again.
Regardless, I don't agree with speeding it up. All who enter should know the suffering that was SKT in it's full glory.
For SOMI gather quests for three days, so you can do 2-3 quests in the same area, like killing barbarians and destroying totems on the same day, or freeing people from troll huts and killing the exploding trolls, or killing ice mephits and gathering runes and loadstones. Add either fishing or alarm signals for barbarians/trolls to complete your three daily quests.
That way you'll finish the daily grinds quickly. Downside is you have to grab SOMI quests every day to not mess up your timetable.
