New Player Quests Trigger for Veteran Players, Hyperdrive Bundle Impact

MeatheadMilitia explained why many long-time players received what appeared to be new player rewards, sometimes amounting to 16,000 shard shop currency. The New Player Experience update removed maximum level requirements from numerous quests to prevent new players from bypassing them too quickly due to increased leveling speed. The older an account is, the more likely it is to encounter these previously added quests in their log, leading to more "new" quests appearing and completing automatically. Conversely, players who purchased the Hyperdrive Bundle did not receive these quests. This was a deliberate design choice, as a requirement was added to prevent these quests from appearing in the logs of HDB purchasers, who would inherently progress past them rapidly.
