I think it does have contracts as well but they're rarely used and mostly just for transport. Not out of experience, but heard this from players. I guess it has to fit into the overall design to make any sense. If there were a ranking (or feedback) system built into the game, where customers/quest-givers were able to rate the quest-taker's performance, it might become another XP-like stat to work for. Again, just another form of grinding I suppose. | |
