Running the quests now for more money makes no sense. The exp to gold conversion applies equally from WotLK to the rest of the game. We know that WotLK quests will be giving us a lot more gold and a lot of exp, but the conversion rate will remain the same.

If you're stocking up on gold in anticipation of the inevitable expansion inflation you're better off doing daily quests. The only reasons to do the "normal" quests is for fun and to work toward achievements. These are great reasons in and of themselves, but if you're doing it only for the cash return then you haven't really chosen an optimal strategy. This comes back to every WoW gamer's friend: opportunity cost.

Happy gaming!

Err actually you wont be able to get the gold until level 80 from these OL quests, and I dont know about you, but I will need the money whilst leveling.

being an economics grad student, I am constently surprised by how many people don't understand opportunity costs! Ideas like farming original mats (when they are cheap on the AH) or buying all the cloth off the AH to turn into bandages at 50s profit a pop(which can take a long time to do) can really be bad choices based on your opportunity costs.
