" If that actually occured, then after reaching a certain rank you would recieve high rank items even on low rank quests."

What is the reason you go to low rank quest to mine even though you are at high rank? To get low level stuff!!! If you are skilled at mining, you can CHOOSE to get lower level stuff but it didn't show in the game that you are choosing. You see you can mine lightcrystal but you mine for earth crystal anyway. You choose to mine it because you WANT it.

Anyway, I can support the "set boundaries to avoid interference" theory. If they do use bigger monster's smell to set boundaries, it will last for 50 min or less. That will explain the time limit for most of the quests.
