Suggestions on New Quest?

That's just a tutorial then, and wouldn't mean anything to the people who already play this game and know everything about it, i.e. the people who are bored, and not preoccupied with learning how the game works.

I could still see this getting tiresome, though, because most of today's players would rather sit at unstick me and merchant items.

At that point, why not just give more money for kills in PvP? it would save time and promote "player-player interaction".

quests should give special items, whether they're health potions, guns, etc.
repeatable quests could give tokens that you save up and buy something awesome with after a few weeks.
