There we go. All the waypoints and all the quests.
All waypoints my furry little ass. There's absolutely no reason to get some of them. I regularly skipped particular ones and have no interest in searching for them. Aside from punishing soloists, in multiplayer you'd just need one big char with all WPs to spread 'em around. It'd inconvenience me even more than it would the nitwits!
All quests? Maybe you like doing every single quest with every character, but I often skip them for no other reason than they're out of my way.
Lam Esen's tome: Finding somebody's overdue library book is hardly so urgent I'd put off going to Hell and saving the world to do.
Rescuing Cain: You never leave that gin-soaked fogey swinging in the gibbet? "Heeeelp... *creak creak*" Gee, P, I'd have thought such a big SoS fan would've had at least a *little* evil in them.
Rescue Qual-Khek's Barbarians: My Legionnaire would NEVER help the competition!
The unusual RP value aside, though, why create a global inconvenience to deal with idiots? There will always be idiots, and this is especially true in public games. Expecting to cut down on their population by raising requirments to enter the next difficulty is rather optimistic, I say. I'd rather play *my* way without detours from "nerf the idiot" factors and let the beggars panhandle as they will.
But I suppose my view on this goes back to my philosophy on public games in general: They're only "games" by accident. Expect the undesirible. Expect the annoying. Sharpen your wit and prepare to do battle with the unarmed! CHARGE!!!!
