The "Beggar's Revenge" quest requires you to pay a beggar a lot of gold to continue the quest. The original quest text asks you if you can give him 1 million. The problem with this however is that it only lets you donate 5 gold at a time. You need to give him (supposedly) 200,000 donations worth. Re-opening the chat window every time you donate. Not only does this spam the chat but it also makes it a very boring chore to even try to pursue.
I feel like I keep picking one penny out of my pocket and handing it to him, saying "Oh yeah, and this too!" and repeating it constantly.
Maybe there could be a "Donate 100" added as well. It's a low enough amount so you wouldn't bug out by skipping multiple breakpoints while still making it a lot less tedious to progress.

even at 100 gp you would still have to trade 10,000 times in order to compleate the quest.. could we do a nice round number like 1000gp.. at 1000gp we would still have to trade 1000 times in order to compleat the task.. and its still going to be a spamfest lol.

At 1000 you would complete both the first and second breakpoint in one push, which could potentially cause bugs. 500gp could possibly work though.

I guess the whole point of this quest is to be annoying  . That, or it is trying to teach us the virtue of patience and helping us realise that even if something seems completely impossible to do alone (like give 1.000.000gp in 5gp chunks) if everyone in the world did it just once, it would already be done. So the next time you don't recycle and tell yourself "it doesn't matter if I don't do it, it doesn't make a difference anyway" just remember that together we are stronger! Or perhaps it is also trying to teach us that just giving some spare change to beggars doesn't do all that much as it doesn't fix the root of the problem. Maybe the whole point is for the players to band together on the forums and come up with a better, more long-term solution. I have seen various houses around Dominia that are locked or seem to be under renovation. Maybe we should start a petition to the Major of Stoneridge or Shandalar and bundle up some money for a house to be renovated and changed into a homeless shelter? From a more 'gamer' perspective though - talking to someone 200k times to finish a quest just seems excessive, especially since the reward breakpoints are getting further and further apart so you could spend hours clicking around and not get anything in return. Not knowing at which point in the quest you are (journal only updates when quest breakpoints are reached) is also very annoying, so maybe add a new 'How much money have I given you already?' line that would tell you your current amount so you don't get *too* discouraged? It would also be easy to have the button change after each breakpoint, have it start at at 5gp, then raise it to 10gp, 50gp, 100gp, ... when you reach a specific amount of gold given. But that would also kinda 'ruin' this quest - I really wanna see if someone manages to finish it like it is |
