While I think introducing any new re-vamped content or game mechanisms into P99 is obviously a horrible idea, I do admit questing has always took a back seat in my EQ experience.
There were certainly exceptions, but for the most part quest criteria just took up space in my bank. I'd constantly run across some interesting NO DROP item, so i'd look it up on Allakhazam.com only to find I need to be 10 levels higher to accomplish it. I'd toss it in the bank with hopes of one day completing the quest, but of course it would never cross my mind again.
Plus there's the hurdle of having to camp mobs for 30+ hours for just 1 of 5 required pieces. By that time it became worth it to just dedicate that time to leveling and looting, which would then give you the plat to just purchase something comparable.
Maybe that's just my playing style, but it is unfortunate.
