Okay, I just noticed this line. How the hell can you say Duskwood is the first good human zone? It's just a lesser version of the entire Undead questline! Westfall, Redridge and Elwynn are all amazing.
I'm not highly familiar with the Undead zones, but I fail to see the comparison. As for the other human zones, Elwynn is idyllic and the quests aren't horrible, but Westfall is bad and boring and Redridge is beyond terrible. I'm referring to pre-Cataclysm btw, since I barely played after that. On those grounds, I would pretty much literally call Redridge the worst zone in the game. Every quest was poorly attributed for level. Every quest required dealing with getting gangbanged by {gnolls, orcs, murlocs, other assorted monsters}. And the only levels you actually had any incentive to go to Redridge were the ones where Westfall had huge gaps in their leveling and left you going "well, what do I do to get from 14 to 16 so I can move on with the Defias questlines?) Once you could get into Duskwood, there was no longer any reason to care.
