I'm not going to say 'please', but I'm going to "try" to be polite, but WTF?
It took a full half an hour and no less than 100, ONE HUNDRED, gate crossings to do that one today while doing the other 2. P.S. Those other 2 were done in no less than about 5 minutes after having started those.

Why did you program this one this way?
Is it to try to appease those of us who complained about not liking the inability to play for very long and to use up our Energy in about 5 minutes of playing time a day?

Well here's some news for you, we like to play, we don't like to twiddle our thumbs while going back and forth a freaking hundred times between 2 gates and doing absolutely nothing else for a half an hour. That is not playing, that is a complete waste of time.

I try to do about two thirds of all the repeatable Quests every day (or every time available). But you know what, I'm about to say to myself that in the future to NEVER d o the Platinum Quest ever again, I can live with the extra week it's going to take me to reach 10,000 quests done Achievement if I skip that one GD worthless quest.

I'm with you on that. I don't do it now since I don't need it, but it is a real pain.

That one I easily get in the square with the big slider puzzle while doing the Sparklies quest. Less than a full bar of Mana to get it.

The amount of energy the Lava Gem takes for me to get it exceeds the amount of mana i get for the week it's available.

I actually didn't have much trouble with Platinum at all...

.__.

Well, I'm not going to stop doing any Quests just because they SUCK.
I'm trying to reach 10,000 Quests done, so I'll continue to do this completely crappy one every time it becomes available.
And just now one single Platinum Ore took 8 freaking minutes to get, at least 40 gate crossings.

'm going for Hundreds, even Thousands, of things I don't need, and even things that are nice like Fishing Tokens, Island Feathers, Questor Tokens, Tokens of every kind from Events, and such.
