I would agree that they are a complete waste of time, but having said that... are they worth doing in the starting zones, on your way to 1-12? I know with my Druids the Tauren starting area is absolutely hammered with collection quests which will become tiring, but, should I be doing them, or just work on some kind of grind out of the starting area? I would like to stay in Mulgore since Druid trainers are located there, but with such a massive amount of collection, I might go crazy.

Thanks
Kyle - I know how you feel since my Shamans are Taurens. It's just one collection quest after another in Mulgore. Really your only option there is to go walking off to the Orc starting area in Valley of Trails (which is also collection-quest heavy anyway) or suck it up and get through it. Once you have zone options it gets better. The Undead starting zone is not so bad, but your walk to it is going to be even longer (short of buying a UC port).
