They only doubled the higher quests, I think. They only buffed the lower ones a bit.
I think they are trying to encourage us to do lots of dungeons instead, but the fact that you have to search for the keys stops that in it's tracks, especially for the corrupted ones.
Underwater and Lost Tower were the only ones, going from 800 to 550, and 7200 to 6700 respectively. However on the inverse, many more were buffed, such as Spider Cave going from 75 to 250, Prison Story going from 100 to 120, Confused Farmer going from 1100 to 1400, Mansion Delivery going from 2300 to 2950, Pit of the Dead going from 1000 to 2675, etc.
Besides that, the amount of XP needed to level up hasn't changed, as far as I'm aware. So, you don't get quite as much from Underwater as you did before, but 250 less XP at that level is not all that much. And if you seriously had to grind for levels at Lv 15, where there are three quests in one level, none of which have been nerfed...
I think all 3 of those quests only got me to level 16, where I had to grind to get to level 17 for another quest, which didn't level me up, so I had to grind to get to level 18 for another quest...
I just did exclusively those three quests on the testing server, killing as few mobs as possible during it, and I got from Lv 15 to ~70% of Lv 16. If you're doing exclusively the quests like I did, as well, you won't be getting any new equipment really.
In the natural progression of the game, you'll be doing the occasional dungeon(which gives ridiculous amounts of XP, and the key guardians are very common early on) and killing mobs as you go, which means I really don't see your issue. Are you also exclusively avoiding killing things until absolutely necessary?
No, I kill most enemies when I walk places and I have killed enemies at some loot chest locations while waiting to open the chests as well. Especially at level 20 and 22 so far, I have to stop and grind for 10+ minutes just to get to the next quest.
I don't see why you're mad tbh... I've leveled up a ton because of quests... Before this update I got an astonishing 2 bars per quest... So I'm pretty happy that I get 1.5 levels per quest now.
