Especially in the lower levels, how many quests do you do? With the option to take those "quests" from the books to defeat so many monsters for bonus experience, it seems like the lower-level quests are now a waste of time and only hinder you from advancing your character to a high enough level that you can start to party effeciently and enjoy the game more.

Is there anyone here that has had characters in the lower-levels recently and has spent time, for example, with the Onion Brigade?
