Anyone else feel that due to the so called "dumbing down" of quest and objectives less people actually read the quest and lore?

alot of the story lines are pretty cool especially things like the defias lines, and that dirty jitters. If by that point in game you just accept->find the yellow ?, its not particularly a bad thing just a shame some of that narrative is lost.

I'm glad i got to go over all of it once pre-sparkles.

This kind of "dumbing down" is really no issue whatsoever. You've probably looked up the location of the quest objective on wowhead anyway; who cares if you can spot the little widget on the ground a few seconds earlier?

What's really dumbing down the game is things like flying mounts, that let you just ignore everything in the game world that doesn't particularly suit your fancy!

You missed my point, and flying mounts actually open up more content and are a means of progression, not to ignore anything.
