I am locked into a questless quagmire, some of my own newbie doing, admittedly. One quest requires me to do research. I've done that one enough that if I do one more I will advance in age. I don't want to advance in age so I can provide goods from my age to the guild, so that quest has been dead for over 6 months. The other one that just popped up can't be aborted and wants me to take two entire provinces on the continent. As I've always taken sectors here and there when quests requested, I have ended up a fair amount ahead of myself. Now I get the kicker that I must take two provinces?!? That's totally unreasonable, it's like 16+ sectors that have to be negotiated. To top it all off, my daily wants me to complete 2 quests but I can't complete any. Why are we being cornered like this? We need to be able to abort at least one of the quests!
