Crossed_Body Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I couldn't care less what other people think about quests, I find them annoying as hell and haven't done a single quest that was enjoyable. Most quests go about like this:Talk to NPC A, he tells you to go talk to NPC B. NPC B tells you to go grab/fix something for him. You do what he asks and report back to him, he tells you to take a message to NPC A. NPC A is happy for getting the message and now tells you to take a message to NPC B. I don't know why but running back and forth between a few NPCs and doing a few tasks here and there for them is just not fun to me.That's quite an oversimplification, not to speak of the false generalization. I could say that no game is fun because all you do is press buttons A B and C in different sequences, and that wouldn't be true because there are other factors at play.Plus, it's simply not true for a great majority of the quests available. There's more meat to it than simply running from point A to point B and fetching items (With the obvious exception of one small favour). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraMantis Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Questing is the worst thing ever. I had to do Darkness of Hallowvale today so that I could use the other 3 people for Temple Trekking. I was so annoyed with making my way through the city, even though I did have tip its guide open. There is a general agreement between level-headed gamers that Runescape has some of the best, if not the best, quests out of any MMO.This, coming from people that dislike Runescape with a passion. Quests are quite literally, the only pieces of content that are not pure grind in this game. They are the meat of the game, the environment that wraps everything.

I don't know why but running back and forth between a few NPCs and doing a few tasks here and there for them is just not fun to me. Most skills go like this:Grind. Grind. Bonus XP Weekend. Grind. Most boss kills go like this:Attack. Run. Prayer flash. Run. 303/324 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more meat to it than simply running from point A to point B and fetching items (With the obvious exception of one small favour). I'm not sure where you're trying to go with this. All I was saying was that in MY opinoin, quests are absolutely no fun and the worst part of the game. I don't know why you felt the need to let me know that most people think quests are good and fun. That's their opinion, not mine. Arguing over opinions is pointless. Most of the time, you aren't going to sway another person's personal feelings on something, especially when that something is the subject of what you enjoy doing and find fun. Edit: @Ultra: That's cool, but it still doesn't change the fact that I despise questing but find skilling and boss hunting to be enjoyable. Personal opinions, you aren't likely to change them. 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

When somebody says "X is the worst thing ever", and somebody doesn't agree, people tend to defend their views. Especially when the reasons behind somebody saying "X is the worst thing ever" aren't really backed up.You want to share your opinion, and that's fine. But expect people who disagree with you to state their points. Who knows, we might both agree or learn something from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate quests because of the fact that I've never had any amount of fun when doing a quest, but you seem like you enjoy quests, so I just don't see a middle ground where we could agree with eachother. 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

JeRambo Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 necro -.- "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."
