I love to "hunt" and kill "named" mobs in order to "farm" exquisite loot just for pure pleasure of it. The current nature of "quests/missions" design just doesn't appeal to me and I consider it completely boring.

However, like you stated so eloquently, we seem to be moving further and further away from that type of game. I still think that it's possible, but I don't think we'll see it for several years yet and even then I question if it can be done successfully if a strong writer isn't on board.

My work before was primarily directed to a workspace for my students & former students. The community college I worked for was rather... limited in its resources. Still, I've been posting such long comments on other peoples' blogs for so long that this was an easier transition :P thanks, wizzel.
