The site as a whole is when broken down in truth earns exists for only two things.
Voicing ideas and issues you have about the board subject which your afraid to say anywhere with a name attached.
&
The capability to spitball ideas and create shit without needing to risk a name being attached.
Everything else is better served elsewhere.
The first aspect has been the primary focus of the site for about a decade now and its deliberate exaltation in attempts to "save western culture" has gotten us to the modern state of this site in which its slowly withering away having done its job.
In this having stricter boundaries to direct things towards focused discussion was useful as it kept subjects generally on topic.
The second aspect flourishes when you let a bunch of dumb kinda edgy and definitely horny kids and early 20s adults brimming with energy without shame push the boundaries of socially acceptable creativity. This creates shit from all the classic greentexts to art centered around popular characters and memes, to all the weird fetish shit, and as a result general creating an upstream position in culture.
This aspect flourishes when the creation of a board exists to create context not constraints, and was also killed by mod overreach and the general change in perception leading to this site becoming personal non grata for everyone who doesn't need it for the first reason.
If you come to the site for only the capability to say shit anonymously then this is for you. But if you valued the old creative side then, the removal of Quests represented the driving away of the 3rd generation of creative oriented /tg/ users.
That's not to say you should bring them back nowadays, at least not in their current state as motioned upthread /qst/ is a foreign entity to what it was it was.
However some form of rules change as a formal and symbolic recommitment to the creative side of /tg/ is what people-le are looking for and Quests are the easiest point of reference.
