We've seen some hints on the devs wanting to make a permanent server (well that's the idea long-term afaik other than the hints we got recently in the code). You know what ruins the game long-term? Questing for quality..
I feel like nobody thinks the questing for quality is such a huge deal bcs nobody abused it to a HUGE extent. There were the 900ql seals last world, but like, who cares, it's at a point when nobody cares. If someone actually tryharded making a bot questing network the quality could raise A LOT faster and it could be done on something more impactful than seals (gray clay for example).
