I do like the ones that show up on the front page from time to time. Best Buy and the one on the front page now were fun. I really don't go out of my way to get them. Like the supcheck/status update one, whatever. Some just trip me out, boom, you got a quest.
" well, it's completely pointless right now, since the levels and EXP you get dont really attribute to anything on the site, and tbh, im quite sure very few people really read the tag at the top right of the post. "
It's one of those things where, I start flipping through random pages and then I see the quest thing pop up, and then I just start hunting the rest of the quest down.
It's like achievements, I dont care about them until they start popping up.
I like them but they are like Steam Achievements to me. They are nice to see when they pop up but otherwise don't care. I wouldn't go out of my way to achieve them.
Nah, I'm level 8 and every achievement I've received has been by accident. There's one over on AV that might have changed my behavior, but nothing on GB.
i just recently got into them they are fun to play while listening to the bombcast between posting on the forums, i really enjoyrf the nba jam quest, but some of the quests are too hard for my to bother
Nope, never really liked the idea and it's lead to a lot of spam.. Especially when a new article is posted and there's instantly 5 or 6 posts of people just saying "meh" or "cool" to try and get one of them. All the quests I've achieved have been completely be accident.
I usually get sucked into it like 10 minutes every month, desperatly trying to get a few.
But then I realize that Im doing a job that is no fun, to get a result that will never ever affect anything in my life. So timewise I guess the answer is no.
I went after a few the first days after they came out, but quickly stopped.
Nowadays, whenever I get one, I just think "oh, a quest". Sometimes I click on it to see what it is, but that's it. I don't even have the quest to follow 25 people, and that would be certainly a piece of cake.
" I can't say that I really do. I never did. They've always been a fun thing to do, but beyond that I'm not super compelled to go after them. But that's just me. "
This. I don't know if I press Yes or No to this though... "

Yes. I went out of my way to do things I would never have done otherwise (like updating every day for a month) just to move a meaningless meter a little higher.

" Not really, yet I find myself doing them, so ehm...yes? "
Makes you wish there was an "other option" in this poll. Some I care about... others, whatever. "
It would of been straight up "No" until about half an hour ago when I completed the He's on fire quest set, the first quest set I've sat down and spent a good amount of time completing for a while. So yeah, "Depends how I'm feeling" would be a welcome option. =P
I like the simple ones as well, but find myself bored with some of the more frustrating one with obscure games. Sorry guys, but I cannot listen/read everything on the site.
I used to but don't anymore, however I think they are a good way to get people to add content to the site and encourage the community to interact with one another.
No, nor do I care for S-ranks. I feel they are as useless as achievements for bragging rights. The notion that I have to buy each piece of DLC to brag about something or even feel accomplished is kinda lame. Some, if not most, DLC is really unjustifiable. I think quests are a fine side-activity when you're extremely bored though as are achievements/S-Ranks.
I really like the quests that make you think about things and test your geekdom, but sometimes they can be a little to cryptic for my tastes and the one that says you have to synch up with your twitter just seems kinda pointless because your not really doing anything but overall i think they are a fun and really unique aspect to whiskey media
I did at first, but the novelty soon wore off. I guess I enjoy them when a set revolves around something I'm interested in, but many were just a race to see how fast I could get them done. Open wikipedia and 3 GB tabs (search, quest forums, personal quest page) and begin process of elimination. It just got to the point where they became tedious..like a chore, so I stopped. The ultimate reward should be having fun with them, and not the level you gain. I don't think I've ever acknowledged a single member's quest level or achievement points.
