Um, but you DO complete all those quests. Something actually does happen to the world and it changes. I can see how you may still be annoyed, but this is NOT like some MMORPG. You aren't just gathering X amount of item, you are going on a real and actually fun quest. So what if when you reset the effect is "undone". Everything you needed to get from it, you still have. You can go on as if it still is in place. I really don't get how you are viewing this.
And, for some reason I don't really get, by the end of the game, somehow everything you did manifests itself in that instance of the timeline and comes to pass.
Oh and, don't lie to yourself. The bank isn't keeping your cash, you are stealing it :D. That stamp of yours tells him exactly how much money you have in the bank. If you reset time, all the money you put in the bank is gone, but that stamp you took with you isn't. He never thought anyone would forge the thing :D, so he gives you all the money he thinks you have in the bank. Basically, you stole someone else's deposits.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
