You forget that more people enjoy quests than those who don't.
You're certainly given the option of playing servers without them.
Classic has quests, many people enjoy them, you don't. go somewhere else then?
Classic will have local guilds, you don't like that. cool, not for everybody, there's quite a few other servers out there. have fun
But to bag on something simply because it's not your taste, It's like bagging on Valikorlia for not having guns if you're an Era fan.
