Don't expect it to change, they either apparently lack the skill or the game engine simply can't handle any interesting mechanics.

Like someone else pointed out in another thread, in other games you'll get a quest to extinguish a fire. The quest will visually give you a water bucket and have you splash water on the fire etc. In this game you get a ??? on the ground, click it and QUEST COMPLETE! epic firefighting skills.

Whatever though, SE has seemed to marked this type of gameplay as their style and refuse to stray from it.
