I guess the problem with making collection quests quicker is that they have graphs and charts and spreadsheets and formulae about how much XP an hour they want people getting... theyd have to rework a lot of things (probably make the quests worth less reward / XP ? ) if they made them quicker like this. The other alternative would be to make the drops 100% (for each group member) but increase the drops required for quest completion. This has its own level of annoyance, as then you have to wait for things to respawn etc.

I dont know what the solution is =\ I havent had too bad of a time but im only 75 and have not boxed northrend yet.
