"I Have recently been trying to expand my island, but a quest I just couldn't do got in my way." this may sound familiar, but rather than replacing quests, may I suggest, a Skip quest item sold at the cubit store. this item would skip the quest, rather than complete it, meaning you can still get island expansions, but you don't get the reward for the quest itself. I feel this is further balanced out with the fact that one would only skip one quest, so you can't just have an instant maxxed out island.
"but how would it work, and how do we stop people from selling cheaper on auction?" simple, for starters, the item once purchased, would take you immediately to the quest screen to be used, this also means that a player must have the quest ready to skip it. the item wouldn't even have to show up into the players inventory, but as I said, it only skips one quest, meaning once you skip a quest, it kicks you out the menu, announcing that you skipped said quest. It may also be worth noting that you can't come back to do skipped quests, so it is permanent. it should also say in the menu rather than "quest complete" Quest skipped" or if you want to be mean "Quest Failed".
These are just my Ideas though, and I understand if you don't want to do it, but either way, thank you for listening.
