    No, its fine. Id say the exp (at my lvl anyways) is too much for like 30 minutes of flying around. easy exp.

    Exp for flying around the land? Not easy enough?
    Besides you can easily set it to auto path and do something else while watching em fly about.

    On average, it takes far more than just 30 minutes.

    well if you're a real cheapass like my friend, you'll fly to EVERY single NPC you get, yes even if it costs 200 or 1k for teleports, he'd rather save the money and fly for like 5-10mins across the map

    so yeah, it'll take longer than 30mins if you're being cheap on teleports

    (and yes my friend does infact know he can easily make 1k in less than 10mins, and guess what; throughout the time that he does the WQ, he just complains and complains about how WQ is boring)

    Back in my day, we had to point and guess when we arrived at our destination. Pssh at autopath.

    I never said it's hard to do WQ. I'm just saying how boring and long it is. I only play two hours everyday but the actual play time (killing mobs instead of just afk flying) is far less when you consider the time needed to complete a WQ.

    WQ is really boring, even if you are doing something else you still have to set up each packet on auto pilot. This quest defeats all purpose in the game wich is to be entertain, because it is not entertaining at all. I chose not to do it because it's dumb and repetitive, even if that means lvling up slower. I think it should be removed and replaced by something more interesting like a quest in a dungeon or something.

    Or just make the volumes shorter so less time spent on WQ and more time for actual play.

    I wish I could do that but not being able to actually play much because of the time needed to complete WQ, I can't make nearly enough coins. What little I have, I save for equipment upgrades and such.

    If they decided to make it shorter they would just lower the exp.

    I wouldnt go as far as to remove it.. And btw.. I find grinding/killing 200+ mobs far more repetative and boring than WQ. At least your not wasting mana charms and **** for exp in WQ.

    Besides.. You get to enjoy the scenery while ur flying

    well 2 possible choices left;

    -don't do it and miss out on the exp/sp (and possibly the extra rewards at end)

    or

    -do it and waste the time you could be making money with into flying all over the place for like 1-2hours

    I think the idea of world quest is to allow you to do something else while playing (working, chores, ect).

    I totally agree with it.

    However, they are adding other type of daily quest now

    Better yet, how about they just change WQ into a NPC you talk to who just hands out free exp? They could add one who hands out free money and free rep too. . .

    A quick solution to your problems with WQ is to do what I go. Grab 120k coins, and 2-3 Teleport stones for large jumps, and teleport your way around. I can complete WQ in 15-30 minutes without problem or waisting time and I never seem to worry much about it at all. Then I go back around to finishing other things. The money it takes to teleport every day in WQ is sometimes less then I spend on Crazy Stone every day if I get enough good skips. Don't know why so many people are frugal with their in game monies. but then I'm a Veno what do I know about being broke?

    I just ignore WQ now. 100k EXP for an hour and a half of flying everywhere? I'll pass. I'll just go grab a Justice Order, and kill mobs for an hour. 30k for the Quest, and whatever mobs I kill, and whatever drops I get. So, if I hardcore kill while doing it, even after I get my 70 kills, I end up with about 100k worth of drops/coins, and after grabbing a second one, for 30k more, I gain a ton more EXP/Cash in 2 hours, than the 1.5 for WQ.

    Example: Huggy Hares. At my level, the normal EXP per mob is 340. I can kill 70 of them in about 30 minutes, so let's call it about 140 per hour. 140 mobs times 340, assuming I don't take on any weak, or boosted stat mobs, and I'm gaining 47,600 EXP in an hour. Add the 30,000 from the Quest, I've got 77,600 EXP in an hour. Do it twice, and in 2 hours, I've got 153,200 EXP, and whatever drops I've gotten. 100k in 1.5 hours VS 153.2k in 2? I'll stick with killing things, thanks.

    FREE exp to fly around the world for an hour and on top of that your asking for MORE? Youll never understand how grateful you should be to even have that quest, till PWI decides theres a bug in it too and takes it away. No like, No do.

    Some people just bring laziness to a new level. This is NOT a necessary quest. A skilled grinder on air mobs for example, in the same time will grind as much exp as WC gives while making themselves a nice sum of cash too.

    The truth is a pure grinder who never did CS or WQ would prob be around lv80-85 by the time a casual player who does all their dailies is lv90. But the pure grinder would be vastly more wealthy.

    WQ is merely an alternative to grind. You can go afk and autopath and collect a nice packet of exp. But that's not enough, some want all the exp for no effort. O_o WQ is not "free" exp.
    heck why not just add a "choose level option" to the character creation.

    Can I have level 30 please:) to me it is more fun between levels 30 -65 than any other level I've achieved so far in the game. And there is also more opportunity for money making at these levels. As selling things you mine is geat. Things are still achievable but not out of reach. Yea even if I could do this I'd still choose lvl 30 (so I can fly of course)WITHOUT having to buy a new low lvl aerogear!

    You guys won't be saying that when you have two characters that you gotta do WQ for. I'm in for making WQ shorter.

    I somewhat agree with you, its one of the reasons I quit playing my wizard. Took me almost 2 hours to do wq, of course I flew everywhere. I can't see not doing something in the game that is there to do. I've done every quest ever given, (other than DQ) and I can't see NOT doing WQ. So for the time being I quit this char. I made another one, and I'm having fun. I jump on this one to kill manta for friends and other things from time to time. I'd rather quit than not do something that is in the game meant for us to do. So I solved the problem quite easily. Anyways, eventually I'll come back to it. I just don't know when.
