Do you want quest chaining? its a terrible system.

That explains WoWs dismal 10,000,000 subs.

[Kiote]

No, he said he wanted quest hubs, I can find it for ya.

"Quest Hub" just means a location full of NPCs where quests intertwine. It doesn't mean you will run back and forth grinding quests.

I honestly think quests are going to focus more on Unlocking Content Skills and Items than Gaining XP. If you havent noticed. The XP rewards for quests right now are not outstanding. If they were going to make them greater in 2.0 they prolly would have tacked a zero on the end of all the 1.0 quests by now.

[Rokien]

So what if he does? You aren't required to do them. You aren't required to do levequests. You aren't required to do anything you don't want to do.

What about the people that do use and/or enjoy that stuff? You have no right whatsoever to demand something not be added simply because you personally don't like it.

Ok, while everyone is leveling on quests, what should I do, i can't party grind. Which leads me to quest grinding.

So two quotes several months apart justifies you jumping to conclusions and throwing a hissy fit?

"Content" doesn't mean "only quest hubs." It could, but it's likely more likely what Kiote said, a mix of a little bit of everything.

Nothing wrong with variety, right?

Why not? We have quests that give EXP now and yet people still do parties.

"WAH! Nobody wants to play with me because they're doing icky quests!"

There are a bunch of people, like myself, who will still do exp parties, because that's what we prefer.

Stop with the hyperboles already.

That's another problem with these types of quests are items. In other games they give you the gear you need through the mobs you kill and or the quest while you level up.

Ya, I don't know what yoshi has planned, but it just looks more and more like every other mmo.

[Kiote]

That explains WoWs dismal 10,000,000 subs.

WoW never legitimately has 10 mil subs, and there 6 million actual subs had nothing to do with Quest based leveling. It was because it was so easy anyone could play it and they were the first MMO to advertise.

I have never in my life met a single person who thought grinding mindless Quests was fun. Not even the people who played WoW.

[Kiote]

Still, I'd rather Rokien Scream No! than sit here and actually end up with Quest based leveling. This game would be awful with quest based leveling.
