i understand the hate in our community for drop quests. Some (mostly in old wow) have just stupid drop rates. I know it can be tedious and slows us down. But ... From what I have seen in wotlk so far, drop quests are not bad at all and they are more mixed in with longer chains that have both good story lines, decent loot (for vendoring if nothing else) and loads of XP. The fairly new pass on loot option lets you do all looting from your leader and when they get done you can shift attention to each other dude, one at a time, looking for sparkles (the quest drop) until they all get it. Most teams can eaisly AoE mobs down in groups from 3 to well as many as you can get making the quests even faster and putting lots of loot in one place.

I just don't think it is as bad as it used to be or as bad as people make it out to be and in WotLK so many quests are parts of chains you end up missing out on a lot of the story and additional quests - which means gold and gear.
