Yeah, that's the biggest thing with MMORPGs vs regular CRPGs or tabletop RP: the monsters have to respawn, or no one else gets to do the quest.
Hell, in Warcraft, I ran through one particular dungeon at least 10 times on one character*, and funny enough, all the mini-bosses were alive again each time. It's really just something you have to run with.
There are a few things that can only be done once, like when the Anh'quiraj dungeon was opened for the first time. There was a big quest and the first person to complete it got to open the gates and received a unique mount. No one else on that server got one, just whoever finished that quest line first.
* Bad groups, kept flaking out before I could get to the main dungeon boss and kill him.
