    I think the thing I'm most curious about in regards to quest-based leveling is are you going to be able to repeat those quests over your different classes? Other MMOs with quest-based leveling are setup to play one class per character. There has to be some kind of replayability on each class else we're going to be right back where we began with leve grinding and party grinding.

    Is it ever unique to the class? No, at best, it was SWTOR with class-specific storyline. It probably will be where you will have to fetch 14 ash arrowheads for every job and redo the same areas over and over again. Also, think about how long they have had to remake this game. You really think a tight timeline is conducive to unique, fun, well-thought quests for every class? Doubt it.

    Hence my deathly fear of quest-grinding.

    I wasn't implying that each class should have unique quests to level up, rather, once you level a class to 50 you can go back and somehow repeat those same quests to level another class to 50. While it can get pretty stale seeing the same quests over and over, this has been the method decided for progression in 2.0. If you can only do the quests once EVER, that kind of contradicts it. You're back to leve or mob grinding once you get your first 50.
