I agree.
I really dislike meaningless quests that just serve as a EXP dispenser. I’m tired of stuff like “Kill these 20 rats for me and I’ll reward you with some money and a lame item”. Oftentimes they don’t even offer any interesting story but instead have some lame excuse tacked onto them
They are just another form of grinding.
In my opinion quests should always be longwinded and offer unique challenges.
With that I’m thinking about stuff like the class change quests in RO or the jump quests in Maple Story.
They were really good at breaking the mold by making me do stuff I typically wouldn’t do while leveling normally, and oftentimes they also offered pretty unique rewards.
