I does have tons of collection quests.. i just do them.. the kill mob and loot an item type drop the item for everyone though.. so not as bad as wow. The loot stuff on the ground types suck.. but the stuff spawns fast.. Good thing is, you can skip a lot of quests if you mix your leveling up with Warfronts and Rifts.

I will stop what I'm doing for any and ALL zone wide invasions this time around! My Bards are made for Rift hunting 8)
