Well... if they change the dailies to have shit xp... there will just be new dailies of the 2nd tier shit.. and so on (3rd tier) and so on (4th tier) til its nurfed to getting shit xp everywhere..

The same thing happens to builds/classes.. people find one that may be the best.. people cry to nurf the fuck out of it over and over til its complete shit and lesser than other builds.. so.. these smart people start playing the next best one left..

same shit happens... crying to nurf the fuck out of it. And then many different variations of that and the last build is flushed down the toilet too.. this keeps happening til everything is total shit..

But.. even tho all there is left around are piles of shit builds.. one of those of the pile of shit left, will be the least shittiest of those left.. and people will play it.. and then the cycle continues.. this is ddo..

Nurf everything for the 10 people bitching on the mobo.. then nurf whats left after that once the bitching peaks again.. and then dont fix shit else thats actually wrong/broken with the game.. just nurf some more shit.. making shit better is too hard..

So...

Basically a continuous rotating "zone Festival" with better XP and loot drops on standard quests.

Not the worst idea I've heard.

Especially considering that there's an event of some kind running more often than not these days.

I would imagine back-end server issues and lag concerns are the two main reasons this hasn't happened yet.

See: Mabar- The Endless Lag (historic)

I'm not sure I understand all the vitriol on the behalf of OP. I'm also not sure I really care, to be honest. I'm more inclined to agree with Daggertooth here.

I do think something should be done about dailies. Of course, SSG would interpret that as "oh, that means we need to nerf the exp to Spies, VoN3, and Chamber of Raiyum," but that's not really the best way to go about that. Rather than nerf the experience to those, I think it'd be more productive to buff the experience to most other quests. Why would people run Druid's, High Road, the rest of Sentinels or VoN 1/2/4, etc. when the experience is just terrible in comparison to the "dailies?"

You have a select few quests which are good exp (Spies, VoN3, Raiyum, Two Toed Tobias, and Mirror/What Goes Up to a lesser extent), but I think it'd be healthier for the game's balance and progression if every other quest were brought up to par and had exp balancing akin to those. That would give players more freedom to pick and choose which quests they do. It'd overall be a lot more fun than being forced into doing certain quests if you want to be efficient. I suppose the same principle applies to the heroic game as well, but the disparity between different quest experience values isn't as egregious there, and most people run every (or most every) quest in heroic for bravery anyway.

Carpone's hotzone idea isn't a bad one either.

what about making Experience a big part of the next adventure pack to drop.  instead of bringing "new-improved" loot, bring a pack with one quest that will give us 200K exp in 6 minutes.  or whatever, just make the next pack be desired for experience, and not Loot Better Than Ravenloft.

So much this.

No, of course you can suggest that. It is just that I don't agree with you. That doesn't mean I am right. I most probably am wrong because I play for content and not xp/min and/or powergrind. So I am certainly not a target group.
From my perspective it is unnecessary.
I would go for the no xp at all variant. How about you have to play X amount of min in a lvl and then you are able to lvl up?
From my side of the table that looks rather attractive from your side I imgaine - with little efford - not so much.

"Dailyes" are innevitable as long as there exists mechanics that gives XP for completed quest. (Contrary to for example XP for time played as in EvE online).
But maybe even then there still be some "dailyes" as long as different quests gives different loot.
But maybe even when all loot in all quests is completely random and given per time not per completion and XP is given for time not for completion then still be some "dailyes" because some are just more popular.

You only can influence which quests will be more likely dailyes.
World where no dailyes exists is world where.
1.) All XP is given for time spend in game only.
2.) Loot is generated for time spend in game only.
3.) No matter what portal you choose you are transported in random dungeon and you cant recall into another random dungeon until you finish this one.

Well i dont know but i choose world we have now any day instead

Hot zones: XP only, with a three month cycle. The "What's in it for me?" should be obvious for SSG: Sell more adventure packs.  People will buy them at the beginning of the hot zone cycle for retail price to maximum revenue, then SSG can put the pack on sale halfway through the cycle for the frugal players.

Another idea is when you log on you can hit a button to send out a DM Challenge or a Reaper Challenge. The system will then choose a quest at random and pump up the xp and reaper xp and send out a beacon to everyone in level range .. it might also loosen up the level restrictions depending on how many people are ungrouped and in level range.   So it sends out like a DM Deal with heavily increased xp (and reaper xp) and the first 5 people to accept it are automatically moved to the dungeon.   Then  you can continue the Reaper Challenge without leaving the dungeon and the game will automatically select a new dungeon and move everyone there who wants to continue.

This is great too.

The systems are already in place with Buddy Bonus/Crafting XP/Whatever Bonus Weekends...

They just set the start and end dates, and quests to be affected during that block of time.

I am one of "Those People" who runs EN several times to grind my gimps through Epics.

Having an option to run ANYTHING but that would be great, since my game time is limited and the ROI for other quests simply isn't there (unless you're Uber, which my toons certainly are not).

These are much more elegant solutions to the lack of content (the real deal-killer IMHO) in Epic than hoping for SSG to generate 50 more Epic quests with reasonable XP.

Lack of content at specific levels is not as big of an issue at 20+ as it is for 1-19. Because while you can only group with a 3 level spread on heroic, you can freely group with any other level 20-30 characters while you do those levels. (Unless you're doing BB, but epic BB is still less level range restrictive than heroic BB, if less intuitive.)

Keep in mind epic quests have s wider range for B.B., this can be staggered. In addition you also have challenges 1st time, Thunderholme, KF snd orchard slayer.
