Quest based leveling: Future problem?

[Renen]

Oh look, rokien is complaining about his "railway" AGAIN...

[Rokien]

Better yet, why not make a few amazing quests and 1000 trash quests?

why do I wanna do 1000 crappy quests!?! How fun is mindlessly going to npc to npc getting stupid items for them by killing x amount of things.

Ahh, if the quest are repeatable that's a different story.
I'd just hate for it to be a case of using your higher level classes to finish the harder content on your own.
It would be neat to have quest progress tied to current class, cause I'd rather talk to a person and receive my fetch quest, not get a card to do it.

More fun than mindlessly killing the same mob all the way to cap. At least the quests promote exploration and movement.

If you don't like them, don't do them. Some people like doing these quests, why not give them the option to? I might not find it to be the most interesting thing to do, but it's a lot more fun than exp parties.

As I said, that's what leves are for, they are the EXACT same thing.

1000 Trash quests, 1000 leves, whats the difference? For all we know these quests could be leves.

Okay, as a person who has played a couple of different MMOs, quest based leveling worked for them mainly because it was one storyline for the one class that you chose to level. However, we have an armory system, where you level multiple classes on one character and experience all the the story on the one character.

Anyone see the problem yet?

Lets say I'm a noob, just finished leveling my warrior 1-50 or where ever our new cap may end up being through quest. What if I decided to level Dragoon, would the quest restart on their own, or will I have used all my quest up for my second job.

I like questing to gain experience, but I'd just like some comments if this will be the case.

They will probably have some kind of guidleve/repeatable dungeon thing, maybe.

oh yay you mean we get to spam CC(dungeons like it) even more!?!

thats better than open world grinding on same mobs for few levels.

At least dungeons is challenging, offers drops, and various mobs.

So, you are telling me, open world is pointless? Awesome Go play Vindictus or PSO2
