the one where you do deep underwater looting in Desolance…
and i NEVER survived the escort in Desolance - even when vastly overleveling it.
Oh Jail break, I remember Jailbreak at least in its origional interation was buggy AF, I do not look forward to seeing if they fixed those bugs or if I am gonna have to buy another new keyboard because of the quest like I did 18 years ago.
Shaman water totem quest 
I got two quests that come to mind, first is one totem quest for shaman that has way too much travel to it and the thousand needs tauren escort quest… I don’t know the names off of the top of my head… but I feel most will know what I mean.
All of the Robot chicken escort quests.
Escort quests are always the absolute worst

In the second city, the Red Barron quests. Gotta kill delivery guys with an RC car.
(They nerfed it in the remake though)

This. Shaman water totem quest.
Probably one of the many escort quests where the person you’re trying to free walks slowly through an entire enemy village, where the mobs run in fear when low- there’s a lot of them.
except the night elf one to bring mist back, that cat moves quick and only stops if you do! probably the best escourt quest in the game
it’s bad, but not even close to the worst. i guess it might depend on what you want to call a quest…grinding from hated to neutral with brood of nozdormu for the AQ question would probably be the worst, but if i recall there’s not actually a quest to do it, just that the questline can’t continue until it is done.
Otherwise i’m gonna say the quest “Seal of Ascension” you need to do this quest to get the key to Upper Blackrock Spire. This quest comes at the end of a PITA chain where you had to run lower black rock spire to get gem quest items that were three different drops from three different bosses, not guaranteed drops from bosses, and when they did drop only one person in the group could loot it…but that’s not what i’m here to complain about.
Once you got the three gems the next quest is to take the “unforged seal of ascension” to a cave out in the middle of nowhere in dustwallow marsh and have emberstrife forge the seal for you. Which sounds simpler at first than it really is…
First of all emberstrife is an elite, unfriendly, black dragon. You have to use an object to mind control emberstife to use an ability on the unforged seal after you have placed it on the ground.
Secondly you cannot mind control emberstrife until you have weakened him so you need a group to help you, the easiest group to form for this is other people that need the same quest…but his is also problematic, but i’ll get to that.
Thirdly to “weaken” emberstrife so you can mind control him you have to get him below 5% hp which is a stupidly low number many groups will absolutely blow by this number and “accidentally” kill him. Which of course means waiting for a respawn, if you had already placed a seal on the ground, it will despawn long before emberstrife respawns luckily you get 5 charges on the item so 5 tries, but after that you have to abandon the quest and return to lbrs to get it again.
Fourth, every group with more than one member attempting this quest will be absolutely adamant that multiple party members can put the seal on the ground and when you MC emberstrife and use his ability all of the seals will beforged. This is false, the breath ability you need to use will only hit 1 of the seals on the ground.
Fifth, when you use the breath ability to forge a seal of ascension, that ability goes on cool down for AN HOUR, so you have to kill emberstrife and wait for him to respawn once for every member of your party that needs it (the respawned emberstrife will not have the ability on CD).
Sixth, the frequency at which groups have to wait for emberstrife to spawn means there can often be a back log of groups waiting to make their seals
Seventh, both factions need to make the UBRS key in this way, but for the horde emberstrife is also a quest giver for their onyxia’s lair attunement, and horde players on that quest chain will be irritated by others killing their quest giver, which will be toxic for other horde players trying to make their seal, and turn into outright griefing of alliance players trying to complete their seal.
this quest is in my opinion the most toxic quest in the game. thank you for coming to my TED talk

Redridge.
You can toss the whole lot in there.
ouch that looks painful, i’ve never done that quest but sounds like bleeep… at least there are layers so you can layer hop for a quick ‘do over’ or speed up for party members
This is the one
I still dont see a problem with that quest, it takes you exactly where you need to go for several other things. You even have ghost wolf at that level.
Go to southern barrens!
…alright, im questing there anyway at that level.
Go talk to this girl by ratchet!
…alright, southern barrens quest took me there anyways.
Go to ashenvale for some water!
…sure, i need those flight paths, and i can even go get the deftkin belt quest done while im at it.
Go to tarren mill for water!
…really out of the way, but sure, i need the flight path.
Go to silverpine in a remote location!
…sure. I’ll set up an SFK group, do this, then run SFK with my hearth set to crossroads.
Hand it in by ratchet!
Done.
Basically told me to go places I wanted to go, and gave me a reason too.

Collecting the furs from the martriarchs in auberdine
Escorting the bloodelf from Northwatch Hold.
The Winterspring quest for Pristine Yeti Horns or whatever it was, only needed 2 but they were so unbelievably rare.
Scorpok quest in Shimmering Flats as a melee, or just that whole area in general tbh.
Any quest involving finding Rexxar
The one to loot idols around Sunken Temple underwater.
Definitely missing a few but the escort and the Scorpok ones are my personal 2.
