I hate dailies. I've always hated dailies.
World quests are done in a way I don't hate them. Sure, repetition makes ANYTHING dull. But for now, it's super refreshing. Blizz nailed it.

MMORPG without questing is like FPS shooter without....shooting. We should discuss here if questing is done right or not......
did you ever take a second to think that maybe some people don't care about lore ?
i've played this game since its release and i've never given two shits about any of the bosses i've killeds backstory and i skip every cinematic, and usually alt tab when the NPC's ramble on and on after handing in some quest. it does not interrest me one bit, i play wow for its gameplay and the community of friends i've build over the years.
i kill bosses because i find it fun, not because omg archimonde killed king variaan we must save azeroth !!
It's great having so many quests. They only thing I've experienced as so-so is my LW sending me all over the place, to zones I've already been to grind 15-20 mobs I've already killed for another quest at a lower level. At the lower level I could multi pull mobs, now at 110 I have to kill exact the same mobs one by one. They are stronger /my character became weaker which makes it feel tedious at times.
It did have quests, but lot's of areas were that badly designed, quests were isolated, no hubs, no continuity in quests, no mounts so essentially grinding was an extremely viable method to level, if not faster than questing. Especially if you played a dps class, with some sort of self healing or low downtime as in no need to drink water every 2 mobs.
I'll agree this expansion is completely unfriendly to leveling any amount of alts. Artifact Power and Class Order Halls alone make it really a nightmare to even think about doing so. Maybe one day Blizzard will realize having faster leveling on alts for every max level you have is a good thing -- and allow skipping once you've experienced everything at least once. It should be fine to do it normal the first time, but doing it over and over again on alts is such a pain in the ass.
To the guys I quoted above. Let me add that I don't have a serious issue with questing. I can tolerate it even if I slightly prefer grinding.
But most certainly its not questing that defined the genre. It is character progression by gaining levels and gearing, increasing and often allocating attributes and skills and talents.
