Questing after 30 is terrible period. You can tell testing stopped at 30. Also Blizzard got big mad that someone used shards to aoe to 60 and now we all have to pay
After 30 is bad? That's scary. Questing after 18 is pure trash.

Its cliche to say, but maybe some of you are just bad at this? Questing isn't hard anywhere, at any level, until the 50s when quests are less abundant (which is supposedly fixed for WoW:F).

I have had zero issues questing. I did find out that they removed the Goblin camp from Dustwallow which seems like a strange decision. As much as I hate that zone that did add some better quests around.

If they corrected that with other spots this is fine. I've found a good number of quests that I had never heard of and I know must be new. Like that Dwarf up in the tree in the South barrens.

Questing being bad after 30 tells me you are using Questie or RestExp, which hasn't caught up with all the new quests yet and you're now having an "awful" time.

No one said it was hard. It isn't. It is simply pointless because you get less xp for doing quests than simply grinding mobs.

What addons are you guys using? So far I only use openmap, or whatever the seamless map scroll is called, and rarespawn so I can see what could spawn in my area. I tried questie but it felt pretty overwhelming and the baked in questing addon seems plenty sufficient for my needs so far.

I’m using an add on for fishing, that lets me use the space bar vs clicking the bobber, and a junk seller add on that suggests what to scrap if your bags are full. Everything else is stock UI

Questing is fine post 30, it’s just that the xp ramps so aggressively, you go from earning a couple of levels in one place to having to switch locations every half to full level.

Also, quest chains that send you all over the world start becoming common and should be skipped. They can be interesting or fun but are a massive waste of time.

That fishing one sounds handy to have. What’s the name?

I use Quest Completist, Auctionator, and Easy Fishing. Bagon was opening double inventory so I removed it, since the default is enough for now.

Having fun, but as usual I have about 10 alts already...

I got three quests in a small questing hub. The turn in for each was in 3 other places in a different zone. The only reason for this is to slow down leveling.

Or... now hear me out here... Those three people have tasks that need you to travel three different places and not every aspect of the game needs to be optimized for xp per hour. We used to play games for fun believe it or not and there was even a time when you didn't know every quest hub! "Everything should be streamlined and efficient" is a literal "You think you do, but you don't" thing.

That said, yes I dont like alt-tab autorunning any more than you do, but im also a jaded old man thats played too many games, just like the rest of you. Designing for our preferences is a proven failure vector

Questing sucks when your mindlessly running around doing random shit in a hub or zone. They make more sense when they are done in a specific order so when you run somewhere you're doing multiple quests or turn ins. First to ever do this was Joana, a speed runner Hunter back in like 2006 with this world record speed run in 4 days 20 hours, which back in them times people used to take 10-20 days to level. He then published the guide which made sense of all the quests and order and where to go.

If you guys dont want to follow the restedXP which everyone is using, use the OG guide, prob where rested stole most of the guide from...


Hes got an in game app, or he also has the old school web guide too.

I bought restedxp for Horde and the only awkward/bad experiences I've had so far was trying to tag the end boss of the orc noobie zone, one escort quest where an ungrouped person stole the initiate, and trying to get 16 Satyr Horns in Ashenvale. Everything else has been smooth. I just fire off a ton of group invites to anyone who looks like they're doing the same content as me.

Also on poverty, remember that for many classes your trainers are the devil and want to trick you into paying a gold for +5 damage on your interrupt. Trying to buy all your class skills while leveling in classic is a sure route to an empty wallet at 40.

Some of the complaints in this thread are giving me a real 'omg you run back to turn in your quests? just suicide and rez at the GY to save 30 seconds' vibe.

I need to save that thirty seconds so that I can use it scrolling up and down the blacksmithing recipe vendor screen because my blind ass can't find the next leveling recipe

I've been pretty good keeping up with all of my professions. I just need to spend some time farming up Oily Blackmouths and Sagefish today.
