Before you post I don't mean I wish we had Vanilla Class Quests.I'm saying, why don't we have organic class quests sprinkled throughout the zones of Zulduzar and Kul'tiras? That way when you roll an alt, you can find something new and exciting rather than doing the exact same thing every time.
For an example: You find a wolf in Drustvar caught in a trap, you try interact with it from any other class outside of a druid, it's nothing special. You can kill it, free it, it leaves a patch a fur and nothing special. But as a druid, you can speak to it. You find out it has a family, it wants to free them from the hexxing and you follow it to help it on it's quest. Perhaps you get a special toy, pet, or mog from the job.
A special something, for being a druid and exploring - that's the key thing. It wouldn't be something found right on the side of the road, you'd need to do a little exploration in the forest. Perhaps it's just before a cave, hidden. Or even have an underwater cavern quest you can only reach in aquatic form.
Or maybe if you come across from freaky looking tome in the world, can't interact with it as anything but a Warlock or Demon Hunter cause it's written in demonic and have to decipher it. Leading you to some big cult trying to summon demons into the world, and you have to overthrow them. Maybe Demon Hunters overthrow the cult to disband it while Warlocks overthrow the leader to try and rule it their way - and it becomes a mini inn for only warlocks.
And these quests wouldn't be mandatory to finishing the game or anything, it'd just be something you can do if you want a special mog, some extra gold, or weapon that says, "this is my class" without having to dedicate an entire expansion to it - I feel it should just be natural to make these quests throughout the world since I enjoyed the Class Quests in Legion - just scrap the mission table nonsense and let me explore the world and find these on my own Blizz!
Your thoughts? :D
The fact that class identity is entirely discarded in BfA after being front and center in Legion is one of the most jarring things for me - I would LOVE something like this. Little vignettes like feral worgen, trapped earth elementals, or hidden demons really helped to make Legion a unique experience for each class. I'd have loved it if they carried this forward and made it more rewarding, even if it was a much more rare occurrence... but no, just grind your heart, all twelve of you.
I have very little to add besides the fact that i'm always up for smaller scale flavor content like this, especially if it's specific or reactive to race or class.
I wish the game had way, way, way more of this, and a great deal less, "HELP ME RAISE THESE SENTINELS IN THE SERVICE OF THE BANSHEE QUEEN YOU'RE CURRENTLY BETRAYING, TAUREN PALADIN!!!".

I'd love to see quests that acknowledge differing races, even if it's a small change of text like addressing 'the light' as 'the light of an'she' and stuff like that. It's just irritating your choice of class is just a mechanical difference, and not a story difference. I feel a rogue's way in this world should be much different than a warriors or a druids.
On that topic, they could maybe change dialogue for undead when the quest giver talks about killing them. I mean it's funny, but it can be kinda immersion breaking, lol.
"Undead are a horrible pest attacking our lands! Hey you, undead, would you mind helping us with this?"

I couldn't actually tell if i was amused or annoyed when the Gob Squad cracked a joke about this on the boat in Nazmir.

They make the same crack about blood magic. It'd be amusing if they made notice of it as soon as you started fighting as a Blood DK.
"They dare bring blood magic to our city!!"
Blood Boil"excuse me, what the f~"
I want to show these kul tiran and zandalari trolls the glory of Odyn.
Val'kyr-ackbar!
Ulfar has different quotes for you if you're a Druid (and different again if you're a Hunter, iirc). It's just flavor, and doesn't lead to, or do, anything. But it'd be nice if it was expanded upon, and you had things to do with the Thornspeakers as a Druid.
It's good they have flavor text, but I feel they should use the classes to flesh our lore that otherwise people would brush over. Like Galenorn said, the Thornspeakers could do some cool quests with the druids, perhaps the tidesages and shamans or mages could have quests together. Just something.

They did lampshade this with the Gob Squad. "We work with undead all the time, you
idiot!"

Uh, technically they are "Forsaken."
Can I get a couple dozen mage/warlock/DH quests to drain the power out of things? I loved having Aluneth vampire random fires and such.
