You're trying to big brain something that isn't that complicated or special.

I never said that every interaction with an NPC must necessarily require AI to create a new quest and reward from scratch. Players aren't that savvy. You just generate a pool of quests and assign them to NPCs in the instance. Players who are addicted to loot treadmills will stay in the game and pay for boosts and other rewards as long as there is content to engage them. This more than pays for the AI service.
