Tibia lost its zeal for me years ago, but it really started going downhill fast, with the introduction of even more equipment that was completely worthless. Much of the new items that I saw being implemented, weren't any better than what was already in the game. There was no point in getting them, and getting them didn't even feel special. I don't see the point in having......flaming/poison/vorpal/electric shock weapons, and resistance/immunity equipment. Sorry but those kinds of items can easily be overused, and abused and often end up making the game too easy.
One of the fun things I found about Tibia years ago, when I learned about tibia.de and their list of all items in the game. Many I would ask about and discouraged I would find out that they weren't implemented on our server. Along came the quest system that we all know of, and suddenly anyone could get a crown set simply by right clicking on a dead tree. Suddenly the economy was flooded with hundreds of pairs of steel boots, demon helmets, golden armors, avengers, soft boots, etc etc, the list goes on and on. I don't like the fact that you can get 20-30 people together all to get all of the same items instantly.
I was a new player when you could only do quests once and that was it. I don't think that was right either, but it was a step in the right direction. I think rare items should be able to be had through quests, however quests that are active should be more like, tibias raids today, only unanounced. Therefore a group could go to "Lore's Island" to fight off slews of bad asses, only to find out that the quest for "Gluon's Plastic Pants" isn't active. However NPC's across the land have said that the leggings are the most powerful leggings in the game, therefore people try for the quest, sooner or later the quest is activeated and a group gets lucky. However not everyone in the group gets everyting in the quest. There is only one booty, and the group must decide how its split up. It could be random with a set value that wont allow the quest to be active again for say........20 days, or 50 days, and the quest is only active for that 24 hour period. Therefore if no one tries to do the quest that day, then the opportunity is lost. I don't think it should stay around, however that could also be an option as well.
Just some idea's, I don't think you need 58 different swords, if only 5 are going to be used. Afterall, what is the point in having them, if no one uses them?
This is just my opinion.
