why do you do daily quest in games?

I don't do dailies either.

Dailies are a completely uninspired way to limit how quickly content or goals can be completed by players.  

I suspect the reason that development studios ran with the idea was probably because of the bad forum press from folks that would burn through content at lightspeed and then complain vociferously of boredom.  Rather than thinking creatively on how to fix the real problem, they decided it was the fault of the players (as opposed to a fundamental flaw with the content) and implemented this method of control instead.

do others feel this way? or do most think daily quest are a good thing?

When you play chess, do you get mad that you can't move your rook diagonally?

Games are as much about what you can't do as they are about what you can.

I sometimes do daily quests to gain rewards & experience & as well as gaining level ups. But no, I simply don't do these anymore because it's time-consuming

I dont.

I been playing MMOs since 1996 and they are the worst "feature" I seen so far. When did game devs become so lazy and cynical?

Of course I take them if I do other stuff that will complete them while I am at it, but I wont move an extra finger for them.

I really hate 2 things in MMOs, this is one of them, the other is faction grind.

i dont do dailies either, unless leveling -- they are not fun

I don't do dailies. I quit games with dailies. Dailies suck.

If there is something to be gained from them, I'll do them, they really don't bother me too much. Like right now, in Rift we have the Autumn World Event that just kicked off with a whole new set of dailys. I did a few rounds of them, but now, I'm just doing the ones that contribute to one of the mounts.
