Currently in MapleStory, a quest, whose lower level limit is 10 or more levels below yours, will be gray in the "available quests" tab.
One of the UI changes in Big Bang takes this further. The lightbulb over the NPC's head is also gray, and when you open the dialog the quest name has "(low level quest)" appended.
Personally, as a quester, I find this rather stressful. It's like the NPC is accusing me "You only just now got around to helping me?" (It's extra stressful when all I've been doing so far is helping other NPC's... Haven't done any grinding at all for my own selfish leveling or meso-collecting).
Non-questers might view this as a helpful indication of a quest that probably has no good reward (exp and/or items fit for much lower level characters).
However, this indication also appears on quests that unlock an important quest line.
So, what do you think? Good idea, bad idea, or of no consequence?
