Why must we zone for quests?

[Juri_Licious]

Currently at 47 attempts at Refresh Stearc Subligar on the Brygid the Stylist Strikes Back quest. And this would be 100,000x less annoying if I didn't have to walk back and forth constantly wasting time over and over.

But really, it isn't just this quest either i've never understood why other quests require you to zone to get the next part.

Maybe a dev can respond to this?

Because......

You answered your own question...

Yup, this is SE's way of keep you on the game. Like VWNM drops. The longer something takes, the more you'll have to pay them to accomplish it.
Also, that sub is a waste of time.

They should just make this quest give you the refresh subligar on the first try right. Seriously, this quest takes only 2 minutes to complete, and rewards an overpowered item. 2min quest for an auto refresh subligar... It took me hundred of times but at 2 min per quest its not a lot of hours... maybe 6 hours. This quest is perfect as is.

1. You're assuming something right off the bat.
2. Yeah, 6 hours zoning back and forth is totally fun and should be apart of every MMO out there.

What part of what Monchat said is an assumption?

The 2 minutes to complete the quest? Maybe you're just not as efficient as you thought you were at doing the quest.

Refresh +1 in legs is over powered? Up until this quest no item gave refresh in the leg slot. If you don't think that's overpowered then explain why people want/ed RDM Relic Hat so badly.

How about the part that it took 6 hours being a small amount of time to get a refresh subligar? Pointing back to the RDM relic hat, I spent 3 years with 2 different LSs before ever seeing that hat drop (this was before the changes to dynamis). So 6 hours seems like a joke especially when you factor in its 6 hours solo. It could take you 100 hours and would still be fast/cheap in my eyes.

Who says it is supposed to be fun? It is a time sink which is the bread and butter of subscription based games. If you can get everything you want without taking hours, months, and/or years to get it then what's the point of still playing?

I guess you live in Japan in which the delay is less and cutscenes load faster.

It's been over eight hours worth of trying and I still haven't got it so..

And as you can see the game is a lot different than back when you were trying to get that hat. Just because you had to go through something doesn't mean I should be thankful I don't.

Somewhere I thought playing games = fun I guess not anymore.
I have a question for you. If you're only playing the game for equips, what's the point of still playing?
