Blizzard's Drysc chimes in about those worrying about not getting exp for any recent quests in someone's log prior to the release of The Burning Crusade...
We've taken steps to reduce the amount of experience players will receive from certain repeatable quests, or just outright removed it in order to curb some attempts at getting a head start when expansion releases. I haven't heard anything regarding experience just not being awarded for quests though, and I can't imagine that being the case, but if someone can cite a post I would appreciate it.
Personally I'm dropping everything and running through the portal. I don't really want to run around, taking flight points, running, turning in things, etc. when I could be experiencing new content and having fun. Unless you've really experienced everything before (if that's even possible with an MMO and player interaction), you're really doing yourself a disservice by attempting to skip content.
I also have a hard time relating to the point of racing to a level unless you're really going for a world record. I would rather enjoy the game. If getting to 70 first on your realm is what makes the game fun for you though, knock yourself out.
Thanks
