I farmed trash to use my rested, did grizzly dailies, and skipped collection quests. The grizzly dailies are invaluable as 7 of them can be done in moments. 70-75 pretty much killed me, but now that I do the grizzly dailies I am sailing along nicely.
I dont even bother doing that steathy. What I do is just fly into that area where all the mobs are dueling and gather up a ton on my mount. Once I have a bunch I just 5x thunderstorm then start planting banners and looting. It usually kills 15 or more so I dont have to make sure all my toons target the dead mob for the banners. One guy just puts banners down first then I loot. After that I move to shoot em up. For that I just put all 5 of my guys in a gun and spam the button when dragons fly by. I have not done my quest in awhile been too busy. Those ebon faction dailys are very nice. I am half way to exalted just doing that stuff.Quote:

There are plenty of multiboxing friendly quests as well where a significant advantage is given to multiboxers. Hell, I max out my daily quest limit every day on boxing friendly quests.
Any by the way, I have done the quest you mentioned - the respawn rate on the elementals was fast enough so that I never ran out of them to kill. I just ran a big circuit around the quest area. The previos quest in this chain, where you killed 2 named mobs is boxing friendly, and I guarantee you'll blast through that quest much quicker with your boxing team than you would going solo.
The point I'm trying to make is that yes - there are some collection quests that really suck for a boxer, but the flip side is you'll rip through the boxing friendly quests in a fraction of the time taken compared to soloing.
Let me give you an extreme example on the other side of the fence. In Icecrown, there is a daily quest called [url='http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12995
I have 17 level 70's and enjoyed leveling all of them. But to be honest, I dread leveling another team to 80.
I literally have no desire to do all of those collections and the anti-team quests ever again.
I call them anti-team quests because only one person at a time can mount so you HAVE to do it 5x.
I've even saw a kill quest that required me to kill 5x. ( throwing snow balls or killing on the battle field )
I've hated every one of the anti-team mounts.
How about that flying carpet.... I was so excited until I got on it. I was yelling **** like a sailor. I can't believe I bothered getting the mats for it.
then how about flying or riding around anywhere... you loose your team all the time.
I can see how a solo player wouldn't have noticed the difference and maybe if I was a solo player I might have thought they were kind of cool.
WoLK has broken my spirit for the game... I'm trying my best to enjoy my main team only because I doubt I'll bring up the rest unless they fix about 80% of this junk.
I had to quit WoW I'm playing LOTRO now it is a shame really since I looked forward to WoTLK so much. Maybe I'll come back to WoW in 3-6 months after I forget how much leveling sucked for me, I only got to 74.
I LOVE WOTLK !!!!!!!
