60-70 quests are in huge chunks in zones with few quests making you travel zone to zone, which makes it great. I personally hope they go back and re-do the questing in azeroth seeing as it sucks so much.
Questing in Azeroth isn't that bad if you know the quests. If you don't, then you'll have a hellish time trying to find a good place to go. Personally, I can go to a zone and get 2-4 levels leave for another zone and get another 2-4 there and keep going around. I can only do this because I literally know almost every single quest that's there and their respective difficulty (note that the level designations aren't always accurate). Although I know how to properly order quests, it can still get kind of boring, since I've done most of the Azeroth quests at least 5 times (I have 5 60+ characters at the moment). Note that my proficiency is really for Alliance... I'm not as good with Horde... yet

Outlands questing is a little different. Honestly, at times I get too overwhelmed by simply all there is to do in a zone and I have to stop. Also, some zones are nice, but I simply cannot quest in Zangarmarsh unless I can ignore the drab environment... it's simply depressing. I remember whipping through Hellfire Peninsula on my Mage+Shaman combo (I play two characters at once) and once I hit Zangarmarsh and grabbed the quests from the Cenarion Refuge and Telredar, I had to stop... I simply couldn't muster up the will to do anything else. However, I started my Warrior+Priest combo out of pure desire to see how strong this combination is. That combo blasted through Zangarmarsh with no problem, because I had so much fun Charging and Victory Rushing everything :laugh:. Now I'm in Terokkar with only the Bone Wastes/Auchindoun area to finish with both my warrior and priest at level 65. Oh and the warrior+priest combo is practically godly... I solo almost every elite quest that is marked as g3 or less (g5's tend to be non-stunnable and immune to silences). I was helping a guildie kill Levixus the other day when I was 64 (he's 66 elite). We almost had him, but I accidentally resized my priest's WoW window which causes it to freeze up when I was going to heal... this caused my priest's WoW to freeze momentarily and I couldn't get off shield wall or a pot in time

How can someone stand running around all the time? Well, it's a sense of exploration. Personally, I've looked at WoW from the grand picture (mostly story) and not the minute details. I also tend to be very goal oriented, so hey... "go talk to this person behind me" may be a lame quest, but I look at it as free experience points
. Also note that certain classes may be more fun than others to play. For example, as much as a warrior is a pain to level, the whole reason I rolled one is because I let my sister make a warrior on my account once and I needed to grab some items from the mailbox so they wouldn't be sent back to me. Well, I decided to try the warrior out. I absolutely loved charging things, it was just so much fun that I had to make one for myself.
Also, very few beginner's quests should be able to kill you. Just be aware that certain quests are not good for certain classes. Such as mages/priests in Dun Morogh when you have to go in the Yeti cave near Kharanos. Casters are
not fun when you don't have open room. This typically limits your line of sight (required for casting spells on your target) and gives you limited distance to start with. Also, caves tend to be bad, because there's usually only one path out and that path can be littered with mobs that may respawn right on top of you. I know that the yeti cave was horrid for my poor mage when I did it. My favorite starter areas to quest in are the Night Elf areas. There's really only two caves in both zones combined and both are fairly easy (the spider cave in shadowglen and the naga cave in darkshore).
Just be aware Citrix that people may not appreciate asking for help in game. People tend to get irritated with newer players because a lot simply ask for help on blatantly obvious things (such as where to go for a quest, when the quest log tells you where to go).
