I may be the only one, but I like the stupid, pointless quests. Hand in the sand was one of my favorites because the whole thing was basically one big joke! It was hysterical! Kudos to Jagex's sense of humor. The point of all the "lame" quests and small updates is to add variety to the game. In all honesty, what would be more fun: Mining to get your level from 60-85, or going on a quest, solving puzzles and getting a new piece of equipment that is fun to use for a few minutes but useless overall? Puzzles and a story, or constant clicking... hmmmm.... The way I see it, the people who complain should try programming their own game. That way they can add anything they like and then they wouldn't complain anymore. Seriously, all I ever hear about runescape is that Jagex SHOULD do this and SHOULD do that. Nobody seems happy with runescape anymore. Why do you keep playing then if all you do is complain? Go do something else. Learn a new language, play Guild Wars anything that will make you happier than you are in runescape. Why isn't anyone happy anymore? :?
