Mission mode for jobs?

I just had a nice idea i thought i'd share with you guys
What if jobbing has mission mode added. you have to talk to the person in charge of hunting, thiefing and trading. then mission is chosen completly random. for completing the objective you may receive extra gold sp or xp (also chosen randomly). this way both normal and party jobbing would be more fun and done more often.
for hunters it would be like:
kill at least 3 lvl 4 thiefs, each extra gives xxx bonus xp/sp/gold
thiefs would be:
kill 1 hunter/trader lvl 3 and 1 hunter/trader lvl 6 + steal 15000 gold loot
traders would be:
finish 2 trade runs of 3 stars, kill a lvl 2 thief
etc...
numbers bonuses and tasks are completly random, and maybe you could even get yourself an sos this way.
it would make the game a bit more spontaneous imo.
what do you guys think?

imagine quests that gave u like 50% based on that
it'd make the job activity go crazy, and it'd be great like hell, omfg
only thing it'd suck is for the lower lvls

"kill XX trader/hunter/thiefs" quest would be a fail.
many people would just kill their second char some times and gain exp/gold/weapons etc.
or maybe kill some friends.
but maybe quests like "complete 3 trade runs from const-sama within 2 hours" or something like that
or a big extra money bonus for jangan<->const morestar trade
for thief,it would be harder to find something you can't fake.
hunter could be the same quests like trader.
but i like the idea

That would be cheap, but I think that would be a pretty cool idea.
Maybe make it so it wouldn't count if you kill the same person more then once in a certain amount of time.
I'm sure if joymax actually wanted to make the gameplay better they could find ways to make it work, but it's joymax >.<.

Great idea for a perfect world.
But you cannot base quests on the reliance of other characters in game or they will be exploited as already stated.

It'dd be a cool idea

It'dd also be nice if you could have a "quest" like ...
For hunters > get a npc trader, which you 'll have to protect, has a few automatic routes programmed? (pay the loot yourself get the profit yourself if succeeded?)
For a trader, a way to request hunters ? like a server message, littttle window (only 1 line or so) only a hunter (even without job equipped) can see... can add the possibility to switch that off at options if you dont feel like hunting ofcourcee

for thiefs there would not really be something like this, because it'dd be unfair if they could just pinpoint a location off a trade to the whole server or so

so i guess a little bit off stealth would be cool, if you keep enough distance, they cant see you... something like that ^^
Joymax would never put in something like that though

Thieves with alts would abuse that hard

not more xp
just gold and job exp as a reward. for trader like make your way to special goods taking these goods. its equivelent of a 3star so goodluck! hunter like... kill thieves. thieves like take stolen goods to a certain area or trader

I like the idea, but I don't think JM would ever implement it.
