if you want to play BEs, port them to one of the other starting areas. I think once you hit lvl 6 or so you can get the quests in any of the other noob areas. I did gnomes yesterday and every kill a mob and collect item type quests dropped the item for everyone. Remember the stupid quest for beer battered ribs ( i think that's what it's called ) it used to take FOREVER to finish. Now the little piggies drop the meat every time, and for everyone in the group!
