why would you do gathering quests?

I skipped all of the hard gathering quests on my way up, and had no troubles.
For upgrades. I am still in azeroth cloth, when I should be in outlands mail. If a quest reward is a caster mail piece, or a weapon/shield I can use, I'll quest for it.

To each his own. 1-58 I NEVER did gathering quests unless I absolutely have to. Also, in outland, some of the gathering quests aren't too horrible -- and some are quest lines. More xp, more money. I don't have a high level character feeding my shammies money, they gotta make it all on their own, and I have 5x epic mounts & flying mounts to buy!
