Quest Based Leveling Is the Sole reason why people in WoW-like games do not party together outside of raids. When you have a Quest based leveling system players have to waste so much time ensuring they all have the same quests that it becomes too much effort to deal with. Quest based leveling also ensures that any player can level from 1 to cap without ever interacting with another player in the game. This is completely contradictory to the concept of an MMO and goes against SEs philosophy of what an MMO is for. This game is and always will be a community game. That is why we have heated debates on forums and that is why we have seen a push toward a more party Based combat system. In the end our game will be better for not having a quest based leveling system.
