he's more likely to make one than anyone on iclassic staff...least if we're talking about oldschool "quests".  

It's not like restocking shops takes any developers to do anything lol, that's like the easiest thing ever.
There's surely enough time apart from holidays to develop a quest or something similair

Doubt a quest without good rewards will make anyone happy though and lets face it, there's no good rewards to give anymore other than gralats  

no thanks, I'd rather see them put their efforts towards gameplay content that is repeatable or adds replay value and actually makes the game fun and enjoyable for more than 10 minutes

no one should really be complaining unless you're willing to volunteer your own time and effort towards learning GScript or making graphics or levels
they literally don't get paid or anything, they aren't even obligated to do any work

Simply not a good investment in time and effort. You spend a few months making a nice quest and players beat it in a day. It's better to invest in content that is replayable. That's not to say quests can't be replayable, but the foundation isn't there for it and it's hard enough to create fun single-player quests, yet alone quests that are fun and work for multiple players that are also dynamic and replayable. It's not like quest/story-like content hasn't been released, it's just when it is everyone just whines "was that it?"

Why not change the system by making it possible for players to craft materials by using items that are often dropped by certain baddies or taking on certain challenges.These materials can be used to craft or upgrade certain items for example:

(wooden boomerang -> Standard boomerang -> Quality boomerang -> great boomerang -> Legendary Boomerang)

Having materials drop from baddies or apear as loot or be received for acheiving something like getting 5 pages of hats or 10
and have replayable content would be great

The treasure map system was ok but they don't drop too often.  

the Destiny maps system, bazaar, and crab chance are examples of things that I think are really great and add a lot to the game (even though I personally don't care about either of them)

both add hours of replay value, are easy to expand upon, etc.
that's really the kind of stuff that I think would make Graal more fun - not the one-hour fuzzy feeling you get when completing a quest that took months for them to make

Yup.  

I say instead of making Quests they add some fun games, like CTF or stuff for us to actually do other then Grind.  

I still want zorbi and gnome resolve along with something done with teh destiny pyramids.
Nothing new just resolve those things within the next five years and I'd be so happy.

The point of classic is that it isn't 'pay2win' and all players are equal in terms of HP or damage they can deal, so upgradable weapons just won't happen.
This makes the only possible rewards for quests gralats, or cosmetic items like hats/mounts etc. And considering players only really care about the reward at the end, you may as well just skip the huge effort of making a quest and put them in a shop

I have the solutions for this, which is to create the Graal Classic sequel & resurrection of G2k1. I picture it more like Zelda: Minish Cap being the sequel to the Zelda classic series. My biggest hurdle is that I'd like to redo all the graphics (tiles & icons) to be high-end and reuse various Graal Classic scripts, graphics, & resources; would need cooperation.  

GL;HF  

What if there was some way to incorporate a daily timer that allowed players to go through some kind of random mission daily in order to satisfy both the players who want 'quests' and those who want 'jobs'... along with those who like towering/competitions...

So many possibilities. So few staff Feels like there is a lot of half completed content that could easily be tied in (But then again, it always has).  

Just give me the trading tables :3
