Time for game event reset

by gofredri

In World of Warcraft Wednesday is the day when all of the raid instances reset. It is also the day when your earning potential for the raid currency Valor resets. In short; all the challenges you overcame last week are now back in play to be confronted again, and you get to earn more Valor so you can upgrade your virtual gear or buy some new gear. Its with mixed feelings I log in on Wednesdays as I am part happy to be able to ‘continue’ advancing my favorite character, but at the same time its a hassle to have to work my way through loads of the same content as the week before…

Luckily this concept with weekly resets is better than the Daily quests; quests that add some kind of game value to your character that reset every night to be repeat again – and again – and again the following day. Some of these you only do to reach some kind of goal in the game, but some of them are endless and you can keep doing them until it drives you crazy. To counter this repetitiveness they have added a pool of quests that rotate to let you have some variation to the quests you ‘have’ to do, but it still feels a lot like unrewarding work to me and I am quite certain that I do not feel that these Daily quests add anything positive to the game, especially since most of these quests are mostly solo activities that turns this MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) into a MOQGG (Massive Online Quest Grinder Game). I truly hope the game designers out there are working hard to invent something new, something more meaningful and fun, than these tedious Daily quests that are driving me nuts and killing the fun of playing.
