Quest Exp Rate

[JJJ]

J J J, just because you can do the quests in under an hour doesn't mean that everyone can do those quests that quickly. not everyone has that kind of ability to remember everything. heck even with my knowledge of the rachel sanct and lost child quests, it still takes me about half an hour for that one/two quest(s) alone.

thats not my point, my point is you don't have to know anything about the quest, or remember anything, because there are guides that you can follow to the T to get all that exp

Quests could actually be better for increasing play skill.

one of my main arguments is that spamming the enter key does not give "skill"

Quests on the other hand are considerably more involved. You participate in a story, helping some NPCs with whatever it is that's bothering them. The action isn't the same mindless, repetitive grinding that you've been living off of to get to where you are, but rather talking to NPCs, collecting items, exploring new areas for clues. Quests are fun.

i've polled this before, and only about 1 in 50 people do quests for the story line, the rest do them for exp or for the item reward??and the other reason was because they had to

As it is now, many people forego quests. They're more comfortable sticking with the levelling spot that they know so well, following the same rinse-and-repeat pattern they've been using, because they know it works. What happens if quest exp is increased? More incentive to go and do those quests.

most people would still forego the quests, those that do them now will either be doing them out of necessity ie dungeon questions, or because they actually like quests

People get a refreshing break from grinding, and a reward that really makes them appreciate what they've done.

thats actually a WoW concept, and the only reason it works there is because there's an extremely large, and well know of amount of quests which you pretty much run into every 3 seconds

It's also worth pointing out that increasing quest exp is not at all the same as decreasing monster exp. For those that simply dislike questing, grinding remains just as valid a method as it always has been. In fact, grinders have less to complain about: if more people rely on quests, traffic at the popular grinding spots is reduced, leaving grinders with more space to work with and less accidental KS incidents.

/swt you kidding? people that grid all the way will, and do have the right to whine and say "they leveled by clicking on a npc and spamming enter, they don't deserve those levels" and guess what, people say that about mining too "they just clicked on the mining spot and spammed enter, they don't deserve that money"

Quests are a great way to escape the shackles of grinding for a while, a breath of fresh air when people need a break. Increasing the exp rate quests offer would be an added incentive to do something fun, and best of all, it doesn't hurt the people that still choose not to do them.

if people want a break they'll do the quest anyway, but because theres such a limited amount of quests in RO it doesn't really apply to many people

I honestly don't see any downsides.

exp by clicking on npcs............
market goes screwy, because quest items go way up in price.....
people that no longer understand how to actually play.......
you have a iRO valk situation where everyone spends all day next to quest npcs....

Remember that you can only do quests once.??

and you only go to 99 twice
