There should be an option to forfeit quests, with the exception of the Planet specific quests (as there is no daily cap) and obviously Alphabet and quests under "Other." Users are currently given HOURS to complete tiered quests, nearly FIVE at tier one. Even though Harlows only has a 30 minute time limit, since there is a daily cap users should be given the option assuming it counts towards the daily cap.
The only reason I can see why there is no option is to encourage users to purchase the items from user shops and stimulate the in-game economy. However, sometimes the items are crazily inflated or not even being sold at all in user shops which seems to be more counterproductive. I personally stop questing all together when I reach that point and generally become unmotivated to do quests at all.
Users are already discouraged from giving up because it counts towards their daily cap and resets their current tier if they're attempting to go for the trophy.
Suggestion:
Allow users to forfeit quests so they can move onto the next one without having to wait.
Alternative suggestions/solutions:
1. No option to forfeit quests, but significantly reduce the time limit for tiered quest;
2. Option to forfeit quests, but have a Tu penalty/fee (50-100k Tu?) which will also double as a Tu sink;
3. Option to forfeit quests, but users are only given a limited amount of daily skips (paid or free) per day;
4. Option to forfeit quests, but remove current tier cap and introduce more benefits to those who reach higher tiers by increasing the % to earn Prize List rewards; or introduce a weekly or monthly based quest tier leaderboard (Mahina Egg or exclusive rewards for this reoccurring leaderboard?) for wealthier players who can afford to purchase inflated prices which will hopefully result in more wealth/Tu distribution and motivate more players to restock.
