i really like them all... i think the best experience i had in recent memory was with the first set of quests from RoK that really had you move from "quest hub" to "quest hub"..... i think others have commented that getting to know a zone this way is fun and entertaining as opposed to 5 quests for one huge zone that are pretty much all over the place in the zone.
as for the kill x number of a mob quests...
- ONE - cut out the 'no update' message, PLEASE - especially for older zone quests?
- TWO - maybe instead of kill x mob, say find X number of items - WHICH - can be found by slaying a mob, harvesting a node, purchasing from a vendor - different ways to complete the same objective -
for example - if i need 20 spider venom sacs, maybe i can purchase those from a Alchemist shop in town OR kill them, whatever my preference is, maybe an NPC barter in the zone - say - barter 5 of those wierd useless vendor trash items for the 20 venom sacs....
Older Quest lines: i also like suggestions about revamping some of the older epic quest lines (moa,claymore, SoD) - i don't know about making them non raid as i wouldn't want the reward itself to be nerfed, but doing something fun and different so that 3/4 ppl can group to get the update - MAYBE, just MAYBE - be able to hire (or unlock with a subquest) a level appropriate NPC raid force or group that can help you complete the quest line without trying to beg in channel chat for a full raid force to come along that can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to try and put together, only to find that folks who originally agreed to come along are now sick of waiting two hours and you have to start all over again with the channel chat spam?
My hated quest: now - for the my single most hated quest in the entire game - I don't remember off the top of my hand what it's called, and i'm at work now... but there is a quest in sinking sands where you have to herd beetles... for some reason - i thought the reward was like an extra doohickey like brocks thermal shocker - SOOOOOO - i suffered through the something like 20 iterations of this quest ONLY to get some little lvl 20 something weapon that does ... well ... ALMOST NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean - this quest has you gather 3 beetles, turn in, then 5 beetles, then 6, then - OMG - i don't know how many times you go back and forth herding beetles that OTHER ppl are either trying to kill or trying to herd, and there is almost no darn reason for the quest that i can remember... it doesn't lead to another series of quests, or an access to something, or even a nice little extra damage reward like thermal shocker - i have to say - it is my one and only single most hated quest in the game
