As a fan of this quest, I just wanted to mention that it the number of scavenging locations in the server has slowly but certainly declined with each new modification to various areas.
 
For example, when the quest was first opened, there were 6 scavenging points in the Docks area.  With the latest revision, there are none.  There were 4 inside of the Ziggurat - Interior II area, with the latest revision there are none.   The number in the Sewers has remained constant, as well as in the Temple District and the Gobsquat.
 
As it currently stands, the majority of these scavenging locations though are in the sewers, which is a nightmare for the lvl 2-4 characters that the quest can be taken by to get to for half of the time.  That being nighttime.
 
I'd like to ask that a bunch of these scavenging locations be put into the new Ruins area, and perhaps the Nobles Gate area.

Garem

Although I don't disagree about the facts, I would contend that the server has drastically changed in tone. Scavenging is certainly a reality still, but it is no longer THE reality. The quest can be phased out as time goes on just as it is.

I do however recommend altering it so that the scavenged goods are not Quest Items anymore, so they don't disappear at resets, especially because the loot is now significantly, relatively less powerful. Barring one exception item that is quite rare.

Egon the Monkey

Although Garem makes a good point, Scavenger is a good non-combat lowbie quest, essentially the non-frontliner version of Rat Hunting fro supplies and some equipment. I'd suggest drastically increasing salvage points to cover any currently ruined areas and keeping it up to date.

Caddies

Oh yeah I forgot about these, will add some. Also will add them to inner city ruins, so in effect, you will have more.
