Was there an announcement about Saggitarius only asking for 2 items now? Also, I don't recall Nori asking for 3 items before.

no announcement has been made. If you are interested in the drama, you can look in the Feedback forum, there's a Saggitarius thread there. It's entirely possible that both users and staff (but mostly users) think everyone's paying attention to them and the information is there and of course you read it.

Maleria is asking for three items and has done for a few days now. Has Nori/Mori started doing this too? Anyways, the given reason for doing this is IMO suspect. They have been rating the "value" of the various quests each week with an alogrithm that does not match my own data at all, and that has something to do with it. If a quest is giving too much "value" (whatever that means) then you can just reduce the sP or the rarity of the items or something. Maybe they just wanna get rid of the asked-for items?

Oh ok, I looked in questions and didn't see any comments about it, but didn't look in feedback. I thought it was Nori doing it. Of course she is gone for the night, so I can't check now, but Maleria is asking for two items and so is Mori.

Saggi only asked me for 2 items every single quest today too, but Maleria was asking for 2-3. I have yet to do Cursed quests for today though because I do Mori
