Increase EXP/SP/EQ rewards for Quests

At lower levels, questing is pretty essential to level up. You get Decent EXP/SP and a solid amount of coin, and useful EQ rewards. I've been lately trying to level by questing (BH gives decent EXP, but you just don't get much money) and the amount of EXP you get per quest completed is pathetic anymore. You get a quest to kill ~50 mobs, each mobs gives you maybe 200 EXP each, and then turning in the quest nets you a measly 20-30K EXP and a small amount of SP/Coins. Then there are the 'Hero' or other really hard quests that give you a token reward for killing a boss than can one shot you, and you need a lot of help to kill.
Equipment rewards from most quests is even worse. You get a choice of 2-3 items, but 9/10 times there isn't a item choice for every class. While the rewards are generally better than Generic items/drops you can get at the time, they are not refine-able. Not to mention a lot of quests give you rewards that are obsolete by the time you get/can complete the quest.
Few specific examples:
Get Chin Wasted: Choice between LA Chest and HA armbands plus a Celestone. No choice for Arcane users.
Token Quest in Valley of Disaster: Choice Between LA Chest and HA Armbands again. Not to mention you don't get the quest to 59, but the rewards are level 50 items.
Dragon of the Depths: Arcane Chest or HA (think it's armbands, not sure though). Nothing for LA users here, not to mention the quest to almost impossible without a full party or people 7x+ helping.
Qingzi: Choice between HA chest, Arcane Leggings, and a Phys belt. Not to mention you are about to/just got rank I gear which is comparable (more of a preference here, but major overlap non the less).
Basically what I'm saying is that there should be a better range of EQ rewards that all classes can get. Unless your a Barb/Hammer BM there's going to be a lot of quest item choices that you won't be able to use. Also, personally I think there should be a larger reward for completing quests at higher levels. Completing an entire town's worth of Quests should get you 2-3 levels, not >1, especially considering these quests are grouped in 5 level increments.

I suggested it somewhere as well. An insentive towards doing quests would be nice.
To less intelligent people: Yes, I do quests. Yes, I'm higher than lvl 60. No, I do not QQ. Yes, I support the OP.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Gotta agree with OP. Especially when you take quests like one man armies into consideration.0

wow now thats a whole new kettle of fish.....the OMA like other quests are less intisive to players, and it seems the creators want to make them less attractive, one part i did quests for was DQ item we saw wat the did with that one, at one point i found a squad doin countless OMas and it was fun rep farming now they changed how OMA works so that it can only be done solo[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Tempest FTWb:bye0 -
Eh I think it's fine. yea exp sucks ****. But you get a respectable amount of coins from them. And if you'd rather just BH for level. Use TT to make your money.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

The rewards from quests is one thing that always bothered me. So far only 2-3 quests gave good rewards (not taking into consideration the level 1-15 quests that give you equipment and weapons).
I only do quests with my main now because I need all the exp I can get but for the rest of the characters I do only BHs. Why should I bother questing? If the character runs out of money I just borrow some from my main who has to grind most of the time anyway.
The game needs some major updates, really.[SIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/MtwcqjL.png[/SIGPIC]

What kind of "good rewards" do you want? Only thing I can think of is you mean equipment. And well, why would you want equipment?
TT?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Problem with TT/BHs is that they take time and generally a full squad to do. Finding a BH/TT squad can take almost as long as the instance it's self. Spending ~1hour looking for a squad just ins't that much fun.
Quests are avalible at your level, but whats the point if they give you almost no exp and a token reward. A lot of the time questing/grinding is the only way to make money or level, but the rewards don't scale with lower levels. I'm not saying they should hand out mold Items and give BH level exp rewards. On the same note though, a sting of quests at 60+ should give you a level, not leaving you short a fair bit.
Also, if everyone is making money my selling TT mats to other players, where are these other players getting this money? I personally Think those players whos spend time questing should get a decent exp/sp and cash rewards from them.0
