Quests and their role

Quests for some people are a welcome break from laborious tasks of raising skills. There are equally high numbers of players who detest questing as there are who thoroughly enjoy the experience.

In runescape, quests normally bring more to the overall gaming experience due to the fact that they generally open up new areas to explore or introduce new items into the game.

On the whole, there have been many pointless quests and all too often a load of items get released into the game and become pretty obsolete after the quest has been finished. If only Jagex made a point of introducing items that served a useful purpose, and maybe concentrated on utilising more of the existing items without introducing more pointless ones.

New areas are always nice to see and normally do receive a lot of attention for a while after a quest is completed, although a lot of areas do still become abandoned and pointless, especially if they are located in a difficult to reach location.

My personal view is that although I have enjoyed some of the quests, both long and short quests, it is often frustrating when after completing a quest that there is not much point to it.
