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

Blizzard has added a weekly quest to WoW Forever that gives max-level players a random gold reward, prompting criticism from players who feel recurring quests undermine the game’s classic identity. The debate matters as Blizzard continues adjusting the game’s systems and defining what Forever should preserve from the original version.

The Booty Bay quest, “In Demand – Ancient Elven Curiosities”, has sent players to Dire Maul in each of the game’s first two weeks to collect three items. Its reward bag contains one of four items worth 10, 20, 40 or 100 gold. Some players argue weekly rewards create fear of missing out; others suggest the quest could reduce bots’ advantage by giving players a way to earn gold without competing with automated farming.
