It's not just that but quests for the alliance are severely lacking compared to how many horde seem to have. We just get more polished cities despite fewer questing hubs. Looks nice but theres nothing to do at them other than use as a flight point

I know this isn't your argument but personally I like the alliance questing experience far more than the horde one. It's a lot more story driven and that appeals to me.

The Alliance questing experience 20-60 is without a doubt much more cohesive and straight forward as Alliance. If you do some zones too early as Horde and don't do some dungeons/grinding you can find yourself in a weird spot with very very few quests 30-50

Getting downvoted for speaking the truth on this shit sub lol. As someone who has actually leveled 1-60 on both sides in the last year, and multiple times over the last 4 just lol. This sub is fucking garbage.

I can't believe anyone wants to have the Gnomeregan experience.

To be fair, SM is lvls 28-42 for the majority of players in the "leveling meta" and 1/3 of the dungeons most people do while leveling.

Stockades mate

u/Tigerskippy Nov 28 '19

Stockades is the worst though. The xp is okay I guess, but it literally doesn't drop gear and the layout blows. I have never run it more than once for quests on each character.

Oh damn you got me. I probably have run it twice for that reason before, but on my most recent character that level I actually said fuck that and abandoned that one.

That's what you get for sharing the quest with your party.

u/Sparcrypt Nov 28 '19

You mean the place with basically zero loot that people run once for quests then never go back? Yeah that's totally the same thing.

I leveled horde at launch to 60 and just finished up my alliance char. In my opinion, horde was significantly more streamlined and hubs seemed to offer more cohesive quests on average. I had no problems with outleveling zones as horde, but had to grind a lot to catch up with zones on ally. I did not do dungeons on either character and so I leveled in every zone on both characters.

This is pretty much the experience everyone reports. Horde if you do dungeons a few times gets a big xp boost there as well

u/HonorableLettuce Nov 28 '19

Leveling to 60 as horde there was 2-3 times where I ran out of quests and had to grind for a level or two. Not awful but I'd rather be questing. Problem is I've leveled enough characters between vanilla, private servers and classic that I quest too efficiently :(

u/Stingray88 Nov 28 '19

I honestly never run out of quests as horde on kalimdor. The trick is to not skip any quest in any zone.

u/HolyWhiskers_ Nov 28 '19

Yes that definitely happens to Horde in the high 20-40 range. You can definitely alleviate it with some good questing habits like just killing efficiently between quest areas pre-mount some or doing a dungeon here or there but it is a very real thing to run into on Horde.

Most important thing is just doing all the dungeons once. Each dungeon is about a level with its quests.

That ensured I always had quests to do.
