No, that's the point of most people. The game is so freaking linear now you just follow a predetermined line around the world. In pre-cata you had to almost fully explore both continents to hit all the quests. You would go to stv back and forth for 30-32, 34-36, and 38-40. I remember as horde doing the old badlands run from tarren mill to kargarth. You had to explore and experience the world.
