Everyone is entitled to their opinion Oni but not all of us like events, some of us enjoy quests. Classic has always been about quests. As far as Thor planning no group quests? You're wrong.

woah woah woah bell, i didnt say he wasnt planning any group quests, I said why isnt he MAKING any group quests.
And if classic has always been about quests, how come the last 3 years ive played had nothing to do with quests.

There were 3 quests made/remade to be better. Where you been Oni. Do you think quests can be made in a day? i
If you even spend only a week on a good quest its gonna be crap.

honestly if you had the dedication, you could convert an old quest in a week or two, or make a whole new one in a month.
it isn't like we're lacking in things to convert or unfinished things that can be used.

Have fun finding someone who wants to do that with the horrible system scripts that aren't even close to mimicking the default stuff the quests were designed for. I probably would have done at least one if I had came back to something reasonably decent. (I'm not saying it's YOUR fault, as I don't think you've had a large part to do with any of the current global system scripts. It was just a convenient post to respond to..)

you get to learn how to use them after awhile.
once cards are done im pretty free to take on any project if need be.

Learning to adjust to their patheticness isn't as much a problem as the fact that they don't even function well, or at all. Baddies being the best example of this.

well you have to take the options available to you.

Learn to use the current systems to the best of your ability
Redo the systems to work better.
Go back to default and start from scratch.

Which ones gives the players new content?

You're forgetting the easiest one of all.

Don't waste your time.

Developer's primary goal should always be quests, as this is what hooks the player in the beginning, and is the foundation a player builds on for the future. I look at these quests as the brick. The developer's secondary goal is the mortar; what you do after the quests are done to keep players around. This is what fills in the cracks, and makes it a cohesive unit. A wall won't function if it is missing one of these components, it'll just fall apart. Just like the wall, a server needs equal parts of this or it too will fall.

Right now Classic is building the second story of a ten floor high rise. We don't have enough brick to complete the project, and the Dev team is pushing to create some. If we stopped now to start working on the mortar, we'd just be telling ourselves that the two stories is good enough, we should just slap on the roof and everything else be damned. This roof would only serve to please the players currently playing, but does not help development in the long run.
