Okay. We all have opinons on the game, BC, rep-grinds, ganking, RPing, Lame Quests ... you name it!

So let's put your MUSTARD to the TEST. (hmmm)

YOU get invited to Blizzard HQ in sunny southern Kali and get to work with a custom team of programmers to implement ONE and ONLY ONE QUEST. This baby is YOURS! =)

I think you know SOME of the constraints based upon your previous playing experience. Here are some of the types of quests you COULD do:

1. Kill X monsters.
2. Bring me X monster parts. (imagination helpful here)
3. Escort quest - we all love these :|
4. Bombing Runs
5. PVP Quests - sneak into XYZ and kill XYZ.
6. Rare drop quest - STV Pristine Tigeress Tooth anyone lol ?
7. Crafted Item turn in (Gyrochronamaton :)
8. Take control of a PVP Resource (Hellfire PVP style)
9. YOU MAKE UP SOMETHING NEW BUT NOT TOO WEIRD (ie. hard to code)

Now that you are getting slightly more interested, let's put some more options out on the table...

1. Where? OUTLAND? or show Azeroth some long deserved Good Lovin.
2. Who? Both Factions? One Faction? Is there a REP component?
3. When? Daily? One-Time? Unlimited?
4. Why? What the hell? You better do something cool after all the b~tching we all do on the forums =)
5. Type? INSTANCE Quest or NOT? Group required or SOLO?

So now we have a framework (sry I'm a programmer) ... Let's flesh this baby out and get some GOOD JUICE flowing ...

Also, keep in mind you can complete a Quest you love that never got finished to your satisfaction (Eranikus anyone lol) ... BUT YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE SPECIFICS (really)

Staying with a long tradition of guano-related quests, I would design an epic quest that would require players to dig through more poo. A lot more. They would have to travel to every zone, and dig through the droppings of various animals and species for items or clues long-since digested. The end reward would be a unique title "Gastroenterologist", and a trinket "Gnomish Bleach" which would remove all poison and disease effects once every 15 minutes.
