How important is it to run all versions of a quest?

OK I'm a n00be..

So Why would you run all versions of a quest, is it for points, and you already think you know the results?

And why do you seem to get the same points for running a quest SOLO as in a group? As I say I'm new at this and things just don't seem to add up.. If I run a lvl 3 quest with 3 other "toons" I get the same points as running solo

Difficulties each give different amounts of XP. You also get a bonus for the fist time you complete a different difficulty. You get the same amount of XP solo as in a party because it wouldn't be fair to have to split XP with other people who don't put as mucj effort in. It also encouragea people to group together because more people in a quest can mean it's easier for the same XP. This is not always true, however, and you'll learn these things as you go along.

People usually repeat quets on normal, hard and then elite, to get the 1st completion bonus for each difficulty. A considerable gain in many cases. In other cases, it's done to unlock elite, for max xp and favor.
