The only quests I can stand are gauntlet or killem quests. Anything else is a chore. I enjoy EQ1 because when you put together a solid group you can grind so efficiently that the term no longer applies. I guess having quests as an alternative to grinding is no problem... but I can't stand watching people pass me up in experience for delivering notes or gathering mushrooms for NPC's when I'm out there killing reds back to back.
