I'd say less than 10% of all quests in wow have any sort of "epic" culmination to them of any kind. Granted, that definition itself is up to debate, but WoW's quests that do what I describe are the exception, not the rule in that game. My point of contention was that those aren't really quests, they're quotas. |
True enough, but seeing how WoW has literally thousands of quests it is unreasonable to expect the majority of them to be epic. The alternative is to remove all 'task' quests and have people grind. Would that be preferable?
Plain and simple, you cannot have every quest be a lifelong epic quest. It's unfeasible in a large scale game.
