Dont get me wrong, some quest chains could benefit from this - currently doing the Rod of Dartol line on my priest and given I have the guys book in my bags, I shouldnt have to go back to quest givers for the rest of the line, the book should give it out. But just giving the next phase of certain quests out as people dont want to take the couple of minutes to go back to a hub...
Its these people that turned AV into a 15min zerg, and from what I know of current cap instances made them into 15min AOE fests (yes Blizz didnt help by allowing it with skills and stupidly easy to get gear) etc etc.
Re: asking for more content, blizz are giving more, but its their idea of more. Stuff to get done in short time for maximum reward - be it xp or badges or actual gear, so that no one is left behind (theres a slogan in here somewhere and I cant think of it). And its only short time stuff as people whine, and blizz seem to think that whine on forums = lots of people agreeing, when forum users of a game are a MINORITY (unless this is blizz's way of saying "look ma, we help minorities"
) of that games playerbase.
Surely planning your time makes much more sense than bitching that "OMG I cantz gets teh uberzor lewts n titals az I haz to do other things all the time, 1minut is tooo long to do a instance. gief loot butan". I know gaming is a pasttime, a way to spend some of your free time, but being organised about it just works more yes?
