I think it's time we retire this achievement as it's no longer a hard thing to do.

I remember the good old days where you had to copy and paste all the items from quests into the shop search, and getting this achievement was actually a challenge. Now with the shop search links being on the questing page it seems a little silly to have an achievement for something so easy to do.

Plenty of achievements are easy to get. I don't see the point in retiring this one just because it got a little easier to obtain, and there are probably people still trying for it. It's not going to be easy for everyone, even with the changes to shop searching from quest pages. Leave it.

Achievements don't need to be hard to do. I think achievements should only be retired if that part of the site is no longer accessible, such as computer geek quests.

Not everyone is on top-notch Internet, that achievement is still relevant to some people.

Moving this to achievements. Achievements don't have to be difficult. There are a few that are relatively easy to obtain. If quests were removed then yeah retire it because it is unobtainable.

OP never tried to quest when the site is laggy AF and it shows. 😂

Jokes aside, there's no reason to retire this one. If we're gonna start retiring the easy achievements, we might as well go through all of the ones that require you to do 1-50 things (quest, delete a pumpkin, leave a flower, potion a pet, own 1 pet, feed 1 pet, etc.) and retire those too. Because they're way too easy.

Easy for me doesn't mean easy for everyone. Slow internet connections, laggy site, physical disabilities can all contribute to making that particular achievement still a challenge for many users.

(and the own a single pet achievement ain't easy for any of us who have been onsite for years before that became an achievement :P)

Pretty much what everyone else has said. I don't even get achievements all that much, but I remember when I got speedy quester, I felt pretty good. Like oh hey it was easy but I still accomplished something that got acknowledged~

I'm surprised that the achievement is still something that could be earned. I also got mine back when you had to copy-paste the items into shop search manually, and it would have been easier if I wasn't using dial-up back then!

I don't get the whole concept of "It was slightly harder when I earned it, which means you don't deserve it at all now that it's easier."

The difficulty of this achievement was never particularly challenging unless you were having computer/internet speed/disability struggles that were out of Subeta's control.

Just because this achievement was made more accessible doesn't mean it should be removed. There are tons of achievements that were much harder when they first came out than they are now. (Ex; a lot of item achievements where the item prices have dropped.) And vice versa there are a lot of achievements that were easier than they are now, so should those also be considered for removal since their difficulty changed? (Ex; the snowballing achievements.)

tldr; Quests are still a huge part of Subeta's daily content and this achievement should remain part of that, regardless of the change in difficulty.

The 'only room for one' achievement is even easier to do for example so this isn't really an argument. Achievements don't have to be hard to get, quests are such a huge part of the Subeta daily routine and it's a nice extra achievement to have, especially for new users who might struggle with getting achievements at all. The achievement has it's place here and I don't see why something should be retired for being 'easy' ..

I agree that it doesn't need to be a difficult achievement, though I do think it's become a little more "hidden" now that the Wizard no longer visibly "times" your quests, so you can't tell how long you've taken on each quest anymore.

EDIT: Ah shoot I didn't mean to Necro my bad!!
