Reduce some quest lengths / spawn amounts

A lot of the quests in V6 feel quite long. While that's nice sometimes, there are many other times where it is a big deterrent from people staying online for /one more/ or trying to hop online at all if they don't have enough time to spare.

Between walking the large areas / taking caravans / sailing on boats it really becomes a larger investment in V6 than previous it seems, and I've seen a ton of people stating they don't have time and logging off instead.

This is certainty not a full blanket statement for every quest, but it would definitely be nice to have more in each part of the BOARD that aren't a two hour investment., notably on the max 9 stuff.

I think good examples of spawn size and quest length would be Tunnels of Melek / Granary  /  Depths of Vanarod

Some examples of ones that feel excessively long / spawn too much would be like Quicksand Caverns or Hives, or even the Guul quest 6 max in terms of numbers.

There’s also the issue that people are disinclined to go on quests that consume more resources than what the reward is likely to be. Take the Quicksand Caverns. It’s not a -hard- quest, really, but it’s just really long and takes a ton of blurs because spells don’t last long enough for a marathon like that.
