#2095, "But back to the subject....."


          

Unfortunately (and trust me, I hate this) I somewhat agree with Vladimir.


I Know, understand, and agree with the reasoning behind the removal of quests.

That said, I think that if the Imms are going to remove quests (again, their prerogative) they should REMOVE the quest.....instead of leaving the whole quest in and just nuking the end result.


Sure, changing the end result of a known quest to a death-trap might be satisfying when the first two or three cheaters get caught (before they spread the word to stop).

But, shortly, the only people dying are newbies who have worked hard to move point by point through the quest, thinking that they are having fun....

The only thing that that accomplishes is to condition newbies to keep brief on, and to stop looking for little extras like that. Because I guarantee you, after falling for that death trap, the next time they come upon a quest they will more likely want to just ignore it.




"Death awaits ya all, wit nasteh big pointeh teeth!"
