Oh I don't, "But admittedly Spelling and grammar is one of my worst areas" I'm always pleased when a reviewer is willing to point out errors and tell me how I could fix it.
It was just that the first time I read your post "that part came across as 'End All Be All' set in stone so I teared up with the realization my content will never be like that without reviewers willing to help proof read :,(
If my quest was in the top somewhere, with tons of plays and tons of these short, "GREAT" or "Perfect for daily" reviews, then I would take that as an INSULT. That is right, with the exception of a few talented authors lucky enough to get their great quests early on, the majority of quests that are hitting the high spots in terms of number of plays and reviews, are below me in terms of what I consider quality content, but the players have spoken. So because it seems the majority of players want a short, 15 minute, extremely light generic story, then I do not want my quest to considered well liked by the majority of players. I may not have a lot of reviews, but the ones I do are MEANINGFUL reviews, by players that wanted a good story. I have zero one word reviews, because my quest can't be described in one word like the multitude of "great" quests flooding the catalog.
Simply, it does not matter how many plays or stars your quest has if it can be described 90% of the time by one word.
I have given up on trying to get a spotlight quest, or get in the first page of the catalog, it will never happen given the current community in any MMO these days.
So I take pride in the few plays and more importantly reviews I get.

Write dialog like a script.
