WoW Forever Has a Weekly Quest That Can Reward Up to 100 Gold, and Players Don't Love It

Blizzard recently introduced a weekly quest in the game WoW Forever, which has received mixed reactions from players. The quest, titled "In Demand - Ancient Elven Curiosities," is available every week in Booty Bay and directs players to collect items in the Dire Maul dungeon. The reward for completing the quest is a bag that can randomly drop one of four items, each worth between 10g and 100g.

While the quest provides an additional method for max-level players to earn gold in a game where it is scarce, many players are unhappy with this change. Critics argue that it resembles the weekly quests found in retail WoW, which are designed to continually pump gold into the economy. YouTuber Bellular expressed his discontent, stating that the gold should be earned organically through crafting and gathering, rather than through a weekly quest.

Reddit users also expressed their disapproval, with some calling for the removal of weekly and daily quests entirely. Blizzard may have implemented this weekly quest to combat bot activity, as it reduces the main advantage bots have, which is their ability to run 24/7. By front-loading gold rewards, the weekly quest discourages bots from dominating the economy.

However, this approach may not sit well with players who prefer a more organic method of earning gold.
