In D&D land, you're expected to upgrade your magic weapon every three levels. We can argue that is too often, but whatever. In D&D land, that's the scenario. In a six person party, one would expect everyone to have something they want to do. If everyone suggests a sidequest, and then every single sidequest is performed, then one of those side quests will still be performed last. If player 6 wants to go for a Shadow Katana, by the time five other side quests are performed... he won't even want the Shadow Katana anymore. He'll have gone up in level and the +2 katana of his dreams several levels ago won't even be worth picking up. He'll want a different item. Like a Doom Blade or some shit.
Which means that if your request is to go for a weapon that is level appropriate now, and you end up with your request being last in line, then you will never go get that thing. Because you'll have a different, higher level quest to request when your turn comes up.
So Fuchs, shut the fuck up about how people take turns doing side quests. We know that. That has absolutely fuck all to do with you ever getting a Shadow Katana. If your request goes to the back of the line, it will never be completed in a D&D format. You will have some later request that may well be completed, but that one will be obsolete before it comes up. In the meantime: enjoy your flaming ax and shut the fuck up.
In a game where power levels continue to rise over time at anything approaching the rate that they do in D&D, any side quest that isn't performed immediately expires. With as many as six players at the table, it is rationally impossible for every player to have the quest requests filled without updating them to higher level replacement quests later on.
