Not going to get too in depth with this but... first,
Quests have been shut down, and are not coming back (removal of quest master rank)

this thread:
Reasons for this were that the plugin itself is not stable, and has broken on us multiple times. A stable person to run them is also hard to find, and though alkatraz and DieLorelei did a great job and we thank them for running it, we have to cut the ties with quests for the time being.
They may make a return in the near future but they are to be removed for now. All quest points, quests, and other affiliated things are gone (though a backup is still available and at the ready).
The point I highlighted indicates that superstein said they are not gone
forever, just now until they can be used to their potential. Quests were an awesome factor that gave JtE one of it's special qualities. However,
broken quests looks worse then having no quests at all. Especially at such an important time, such as this weekend! Some of the decisions superstein has made, such as removing the Quests and ranks, took discussions. I had multiple discussion about removing the ranks with superstein and even Sploorky when he was still a Director. Keep reading for the point.
But I get it. The point of this thread is some people are unhappy with the turn JtE has taken. That's perfectly acceptable but
my point is
if said people have had such strong feelings about this, y'all should've and could've said something to Marnixxie, the first Director of JtE, or to TheQube when he followed, or Sploorky who came after that and now superstein. Storm claims to have been considering these things for
months. Directors cannot read your minds and we also love our servers. We want people to be able to play for hours and have fun. So as aggressive as superstein's original post may seem, it was more like a slap in the face for him to see the work he's put into the server being talked about in the manner that it was. (Just so you understand it from his side of coin.)
Moving on to my final point, instead of discussing everything that is wrong, let's
suggest. Very few posts on this thread actually suggest how to
change.
What are somethings you'd be interested in seeing
happen on JtE?
What additions could make it interesting for you?
What's somethings you think could change for the future?
And since not many of you can see it, I will say this thread has sparked yet another conversation between superstein and his staff on how to better the server.
Also going to add my view point on the addition on PvP added to the nether, the benefit I see from this is for people to get a feel for PvP, though I disagree with the addition of it at this stage in the server.
It also helps being open minded and remembering that not all of it is possible. After the complaining about PvP, they attempt to work towards a solution and immediately it is rejected. 
I'm sure you all have good ideas, maybe some staff has not even thought of yet so share. :)
