WQ are really just dailies you don't have to go to a quest giver to pick up. Beyond that there are way more WQ in the list so they don't repeat as often and now the cap isn't 10 or 25 like it would have been in the past.
"Privilege is invisible to those who have it."
As one of the only people on the planet who didn't have a problem with MoP dailies, I don't have a problem with either system.
They both have pros and cons, so neither one is a perfect solution.

Prefer WQs overall but definitely feel that there's way too many of them and that I don't really feel that I'm contributing to the world. I think that each zone, per day, should have 4-6 thematically linked WQs e.g. Tiragarde Sound one day might have Ashvane Company WQs up - some reclamation/destruction of azerite weapons, some killing Ashvane mobs, some killing named bosses, maybe profession WQs linked to that theme. The next day, it might be Freehold Pirates or Norwington Festival/hunting etc. Same for the other zones - broadly linked to the storylines you see in the main quests.
Each day, in your main hub you'd then select your "emissary" for the day as a breadcrumb quest - that way you could still have the reward but with more choice because you can farm a particular rep more quickly by selecting the same emissary each day til you hit exalted. This could be a progress bar - so elite WQs would fill up your emissary more quickly than non-elites.
I feel this would create a more engaging WQ experience - you'd generally clear out a sub zone each day (although you could have special WQs e.g. pet battles/Tortollans/Champions of Azeroth/invasions that weren't linked to zones/emissaries) for the main WQs. You could also do the 4-6 WQs in each zone for the rep/rewards but only choose one for your emissary. It would have the feel of a daily hub but without the requirement to pick up and hand in all the quests. It should also feel like you're doing something meaningful (not always necessarily huge world-ending threats every time - it could be more fun/light-hearted on occasion) each time you participate rather than random things across the world.
Dailies, because they are restricted to a smaller area and i can optimise my travel and completion time with practice/knowledge.
World quests have too much travel time, wich is just well... a waste of time/boring.
The method of delivery is different. But the quest is the same. You do something repeatedly each day. All they would do with world quests is make it so you have to go talk to someone instead of the "head pop up" and they'd be the same as dailies.
I agree the head pop up is annoying.
Neither of those. They always use such things to force raiders into game play we don't like.
BOTH so your poll its bias and polarize.
Why? because World Quests are the answer of the thedious "go talk accept quest" they are better it every way, even rewards.
BUT the problem that Blizzard did was OVER ABUSE THE SYSTEM OF WORLD QUESTS.
WQ were suppose to be the "Events" that happens trough the maps in Guild wars 2, and if you dont help on those "World events" they end doing something, like centaurs can take over an entire city (lets said Crossroads) and stay there until a WQ pops up and players drive back the centaurs from Crossroads and pushing up them to the THousand needles making probably 5 world quests, a big reward in the end and the circle returns and the cycle continues.
Now WQ are just dailies and probably there are more WQs than dailies so technically they are still far better than dailies. NOW if you are asking Dailies because of the gold they give vs WQ giving you anything else, mmm thats your preference.
THe best solution its having LESS WORLD QUESTS AND RETURNING DAILIES, so World Quests are meaninfull and Dailies the shores that we do every day.
I want world quests that send us out to random places throughout all expansions.
Could have saved us all a lot of time and just admitted you don't play the game and have no clue what you're talking about. The article you link dates from last year. The raid after Uldir is already out, and the Titanforging cap is now 425.
Not that you're ever likely to see a 425 WQ item, even a 400 one would be exceedingly rare apart from the 400 Azerite pieces one can get from Emmisaries but even then you basically need to already be at that ilvl to get them.
Adding variety is OK for a lot of people. These things are what they are. The business about dailies having story progression is not wrong but is pointless after you've done the rotating ones for a few weeks. I'm baffled why people aren't OK with having both available. Instead there's this binary choice which isn't the best solution either way.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
I wish more zones in Azeroth had Wqs.
World quests and it's not even close. Think world quests need work but dailies became a chore very quickly
WQ allways.They are way better than dailies.
It begins with absence and desire.It begins with blood and fear.It begins with....
World Quests are a much more dynamic system, and help the world feel more alive. It could use some improvements, but it's better than Dailies.
