how do those things hide it
i mean they sound fun sure, but it's not like you can just run around doing quests and minigames and get top gear or can you?
Quests and minigames wont get you to the top gear. you're going to have to do some grinding along the way to get to top gear, however doing quests and such will lower the grinding time by a lot. Quests will give you unique equipment, money, and exp in certain skills. It however, will not give you things like destinite ore, or yew logs. Those are things you are going to have to do yourself, but doing quests may speed up the time to be able to do those things.
For example, you want to get to 40 mining to mine gold. you already have level 13 from making yourself bronze armor or what not. you don't want to spend the time to get to 40. what do you do? you find a quest that gives you mining exp. be it from talking to other players or finding it yourself. Say you find a quest that requires you to kill some medium leveled monsters and bring someone 5 bronze bars. You complete the quest, and receive 250 mining exp (random number made up)
This gets you from 13 mining, to 25. An exceptional jump in level for doing things other than mining.
As you can see, this will get players to have much more to do than sit there and look at a rock, or spam click eachother on checkpoints to get combat levels.
