I don't get why that's such a problem

It creates a lot of hiccups in the lore, and is disrespectful to the previous quests in my opinion

Like how am I supposed to meet Zaros in the 6th age, and then communicate with him for the first time in the 5th?

E: I don't even think Desert Treasure will be required and I am guessing Azzanadra or however you spell his name will feature in the new quest despite not even being released from the DT pyramid yet lol

E2: Obviously this is only for people who haven't done all of the quests like I have, but it still bugs me :/

Because the 5th age happened before the 6th age?

Not quite...

People should not be able to complete 6th age content before completing 5th content. The past comes before the future after all.

The character has completed all 5th age content before any of the 6th age content. 5th age content is all considered a flashback.

How is it a flashback if you haven't even done it though? How do you have those memories to go back to? Maybe for our characters they would be flashbacks, but not for people who have yet to finish off the 5th age content for themselves.

I don't know if they reworked any of them or not due to already having completed them before WE1, but I am pretty sure that the 5th age quests still play through as normal quests do rather than a flashback when completing them for the first time.

I realize that's the official Jagex reasoning, but personally I feel it's a bit.. weak. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, but I'd much rather the logical flashbacks need to be completed before doing the new quests. People doing these quests aren't going to remember anything about the people they meet or even know the significance of them.

I remember next to nothing about Darkness of Hallowvale because I did it years ago. People who do FotG first and then complete Temple at Senntisten will barely remember the details of FotG, which is my only real complaint about the "flashback" reasoning.

As an exaggerated example, all players should start out with all the quest points and rewards from 5th age or sooner quests. If all quests are already completed and doing the "quest" is simply a flashback looking at what you've already done, then you should already have the items, and instead be learning how they came into your possession.

If I go to work and work for 10 hours, I don't have to wait a year and then remember the work I did on that day in order to finally get paid for it.

Exaggerated, yes. A very weak connection, yes. But the flashback aspect is just as weak, in my opinion
