First time through an expansion I read nearly all text only skipping side quest text that doesn’t grab my attention.
1-Yes but it is inconsequential.
2- Yes but we choose what we want to do anyway.
3-yes but only if we are customer service and we get paid to.
Subscribers would like to know if they are just throwing their money down a rathole.
My work has me trained to think that the broken second link is like supposed to be some kind of spearphishing education deal or something

I sometimes read quest text, but it depends on the quest. If it is a daily, it is usually not thoroughly engaged in the lore - and I will see it again tomorrow.
Sometimes the text helps in completing the quest, sometimes it’s more about the story/worldbuilding. Most dailies are about how to complete it, I would think, but clearly I haven’t done ‘em all to make a blanket statement.
I would prefer quest text that requires input from me, more like a dialogue between my character and the quest giver. So, you may get a few sentences of dialogue from the NOC stating their plight, and then you acknowledge it or tell them “I’m full of plight now, so, I can’t help.” Then if you give them an affirmative, they then explain the quest/what they need, you acknowledge, and, well, I think it’s self-evident how the rest would go.
That feedback ain’t nothing but a peanut! YEAH BUDDYYYYY!
my answer from the main thread
I also answered in the main thread. Thanks Kaivax for drawing it to our attention. 
Nope, haven’t read quest text since like 2006-2007 - I always skip skip skip thru it
Only time I read quest text is if I’m lost/confused and need some clues on the objective (…sometimes found in the quest text), but other than that I completely ignore quest text
But, more like to happen, I’ll just open up a new/fresh tab and lookup the quest in question on wowhead (if I’m confused/stuck) and scroll down to the “Comments” section to find out exactly what I need to do to complete the quest
Back in our day we had to thottbot everything. It was the grand daddy of wowhead.

It’s a role playing game , of course I do.
I always read quest text on the first few play throughs.
I really hope this poll isn’t some attempt to gage the community reaction to removing quests. Especially bc a majority of the community doesn’t even come to the forums.
They also posed the question on Twitter.

Why would they do that? Remove quests I mean
Basic questing is still the bread n’ butter of every lowbie and leveler, also a staple for alts (questing is faster for DPS classes than dungeon-spamming)
I literally go where the arrow tells me to go and start killing things indiscriminately until I see a 1/X progress notification.

Always. And if I’m in a dungeon for the first time, I WILL read it even if the group kicks me out for lagging behind; however, I don’t do dungeons for that very reason. Can’t enjoy the dungeons when it’s go go go and I will never do a dungeon more than once. Don’t care about gear, I care about the dungeon experience - which I will never have in a group due to the go go go. No I’m going to create my own group as dungeons are not that important to me.

Poll needs “Yes”, “Mostly”, “Rarely”, “No” options
Addenda: I’d like to point out for those “We should poll the users” advocates, that after 4 hours, this poll has had 434 votes. Out of the zillions of WoW players.
Just a data point.
I’m more scared they’ll start adding pseudo-secret “follow some cryptic hints in a wall of text” quests where you basically have to look up a walkthrough to decipher what it’s actually asking.

Kinda squirmed a little. Are they feeling around on if they can get away without writing quest text? Yes, I read the quest my first time through an expansion.
i did thru dragonflight on my first toon i took thru it and shadowlands the first toon i took thru it. other than that no.
I do kind of miss how on elder scrolls online it’s all voice acting for quests.
I only read the main storyline quests. The rest I can’t bother, sorry.
