Stronger consideration when creating quests

[xbobx]

Fact is SE does these quests with no real thought what so ever. Look at the other limit quests, they actually made some sort of sense. It was part of learning your job.
These limit quests are just random (just do this guys). At this point there really shouldn't be any limit quests, they just there to make you have to waste time. No other reason.
There was zero thought behind this quest it was just thrown out there. Quests are pure laziness.

LB1 - Farm 3 rare ex items
LB2 - Kill 3 NM
LB3 - Collect 3 Key Items
LB4 - Collect 4 KS and Trade them to the NPC from the description
LB5 - Fight Maat
LB6 - Trade 5 KS and 3 Merits
LB7 - Trade 5 KC and 4 Merits
LB8 - Trade 10 KC and 5 Merits
LB9 - Trade 1 KC, 1 Random item and 10 Merits

So out of all the LB quest only one relay about learning your job.
The rest is about collecting items.

The story in the quest is still on track.
And that is all about surpassing your own limits.

Dude... just be fricking glad not EVERYONE had to get a magicked skull. At least it was random so there were not 100 people trying to get them all at the same time. My husband had to get a faded crystal, which means he didn't have to farm anything, which in turns kept him from having to compete with anyone at any point. Before you gripe about how HARD it is to run to gusgen freaking mines to get an easy drop item, think of what could have been and realize you dodged a bullet because SE tried to FIX the congestion by making the item random.

If only there were some sort of test server from which people could find the information on the quest before it was released. People could have posted this information on various ffxi-related forums, and we could have farmed the possible items a night or two before the update instead of sitting in Jeuno twiddling our thumbs. We'd be able to log on and do the quest immediately instead of having to deal with all the congestion.

Lol, I see what you did thar.

That aside, I got lucky for a Dangruf stone. Sped up my level cap nice and easy. It could have been like Sunsand, where you had to wait for dust storms, or it could have been as easy as a Faded Crystal or Dangruf stone. Random item hunting is random, but be thankful it's split among multiple items rather than just one. Complain less.

Skull REALLY. 30 people camping 10 mobs. Thing your quests through. Put meaning to them, not just fetch quests.

Took me a minute to figure out what your were blabbing about... vague thread title, even vaguer ranting.
REALLY. Learn to write whole sentences, not just fletch words.

Do you not remember your screw ups with one ??? on new content and 100 people lineups?

Was that the bit where they added fellows, and people were lining up to do the battles? Where GMs were patrolling the lines, and anyone cutting the line got teleported to a 'random' location (5~10ft in front of Jormungand) in Vana'diel? That was fun
