I agree to all of those. One thing I noticed though, is that I hardly got
more than 4 or 5 quests active at the same time. I remember in older times
I'd go through a zone to collect as many quests as possible and would then
quest until all of these were finished before handing them in. I used to do
this to minimize travel.

Which is why they put out so many flight points now, as well as that little feature (not sure what it's called) - the one where as you complete a portion of a chain quest a little squawk box pops up under your minimap area and lets you complete the quest and pick up the next part. I first felt it was cheesy, but now realize it's not on all quests, just certain ones that more or less would have had you complete a collection quest, travel halfway across a zone turn it in, to find a follow up exclamation quest just popped up and you have to go all the back where you just were.

So while you can't gather all the quests like you were doing, they spoon feed you the quests in dribs and drabs, but with that feature and the additional flight points to support it, it seems to work decently.

I'm questing now in the Eastern Plaguelands, after taking the mages quest in booty bay (when I completed all down there) you get ported to the Western Plaguelands in Anderhol (sp?)...Strange to hear the dialoge talking about "after the defeat of the Lich King..." while my main raider is working on him tonight...Gee, if he's already dead, why bother showing up for ICC tonight? lol
