Which quests are you thinking of? The only ones I can think of are in KoS. Just the ones in the nest that I can think of. Oh, and the ones to advance various parts of HQ. I don't think those really count. Its not like you can produce and sell wyrmslayers.
And as for rewards you can use...have you gotten any of the quest armor in enchanted lands? Are you using any of it? Did you get any quest armor rewards that you can't use? I'm use to getting things I can't use and have no intention of using even if I could equip it. I did the quests for 1) fun, 2) experience, 3) AA experience. There are very, very few quests I perform for the item reward. Saying that the recipes is the only reward for these quests ignores the experience and AA. I remember doing all of these quests even thought I only could use 1 of the 4 rewards. It would of been cheaper to buy the reward than the turn in items for the previous quest from the broker! I guess we all have our different reasons for doing quests, but I don't see this as a compelling reason to change this, especially after all these years.
Yes, I have gotten much of the quest armor in enchanted lands and yes I am using it (appearance slot FTW! , many of those quested armor sets are somewhat rare in their entirety. ) Unfortunately I will soon have to stop questing until item limits and storage issues are addressed and find another game to play in the meantime I think.At 80/80/400/140 there is 0 reward for XP or AA so I received nothing in the way or those rewards. The other recipes however are of use, again - appearance slot and housing items FTW but alas they are sitting in the bank until the issue is addressed or I simply run out of space to finish accomplishing things and find another place to play and spend my money. For fun, yes, of course I enjoyed running the quest line although the 3rd part of the series involves the tomes which are all sadistic in nature - multiple kill sets but hey, I have the entire set for my collection now so I feel accomplished. And yes, I have often received armor I cant use, much like every HQ reward that has been turned into a house trophy but at least I am using them as decoration in my house. Oh well, just a suggestion....

Your complaining about doing grey quests with your maxed out character, and the rewards?

Assuming that you have a 5 room house, your also complaining about storage when you could have (6+6+8+4) x40 non inventory items plus 520ish house items on just one character? The only game I can think of that allows for more storage of items is Star Wars Galaxies, and even there with people being allowed to store litteraly thousands of items they still complained about space! I personally don't have any space issues. Do I fill up? Sure I do. Then I go about getting rid of things I'll never use and could replace easily if I wanted to. After a while of doing this I have enough space to go on with whatever I want to do in game.

I guess if your priorites in game is to accumulate as much stuff as possible it would be an issue. However, that is due to your personal decisions of a goal. The game does not encourage this in and of itself at all. Mostly the game encourages you to sell items you arn't going to actively use. You can see this in the origional design where the only source of coin was from selling items to vendors. Corpse coin drops were introduced much later.

Anyways, if you are planning on moving on from EQ2 due to space considerations, I would suggest trying star wars galaxies. You might be able to resolve your space limitations there to your satisfaction.
