Every quest has the dialog in say when you complete it, single or multiple item turn ins. It has nothing to do with it being MQable. The only NPC dialog that's not in say is when you use a merchant.
Merchants use say when you initially click on them. And no, not every quest has text for individual turn ins. Having text from a single turn in of a multi item quest hand-in is certainly not the norm for the vast majority of quests, even MQable ones. There are many MQable quests where the NPCs say nothing at all until the final hand in is complete. So the mechanic was present to the point that Devs really started crafting more and more quests that featured completion text lines after a single turn in and surprise surprise, as most quests are MQable as we moved on from the original classic EQ. Kunark epic and VP quests were first major quests you could multi quest and most “long” quests in the following expansions followed same model.

Its ok, neither of us know the full truth. Ive explained my angle as you have yours.

Ill just agree that we disagree.

Prove that they didnt intend it.

Im showing some real differences in how non-MQ and MQable quests handle their npc text and the counter points have yet to really show anything that the angle Ive explained is not accurate to what the Devs put in on purpose.

When I was in the Guide program on live, we were expressly forbidden from assisting players with any manner of MQ. The stated reason was that it was an unintended function of the quest system.

Well thank you for some actual relevant info to this debate. My question is tho what era were you a guide, because tons of Quests were all MQable as EQ went on and if it wasnt a feature that the Devs wanted to be used could have written it out.

I was a guide from 2002 (mid-Luclin) to 2004 (OoW era). I quit Live in late 2005.

It was funny when it happened to AM and TMO and it is as funny when it happened to AG. You all know the risks when you sell this crap to a vender.
