All the quests in this game are optional and free. Your point?
A good quest design is something that players will enjoy doing and at the same time challenging to do and in the end feel pride when they accomplish it. This isn't a good quest design by any MMO gaming standard. It's just a mind numbingly boring repetitious quest because they just want to recycle an old idea, perhaps due to lack of imagination or just pressure to put something out there that takes weeks to do.
