I know that many games will allow you to sort quest items and even keep you from selling them until they are not needed anymore. This game could benefit from a system like that.
Here's the thing. Different gamers like different things. Some game designs are not for all players.
Some designs are just bad, sure, but when lots of people love a game, or game feature, that you hate, odds are it's not a total piece of crap. It's just something you don't like.
OK. Carry on telling everybody else that they're having fun wrong now.
