Parts of the Damnation Cipher chain quest in Shadowmoon Valley are stupid to the point of agravating.
Go to certain point and open chests until you find quest-item. Oh, the chests are locked, and beyond the skill of a level 70 rogue to pick, even with maxed out Lockpicking. But if you kill the mobs around the chests, there's a 10-20% chance a key will drop, which is good for one chest. Want to open a second chest? Farm another key. 15 chests later, I get the quest-item.
Another part... go to certain point and try and pick up a rotten arakkoa egg. Now, my character can pick the pockets of demons without them noticing, but apparently, I'm unable to pick up a damn egg on the first try. Or the second. Or the 15th. Oh, and when you don't pick it up correctly, it bursts, inflicting a disease on you. (Of course, right after posting, I get the damned egg)
Blizzard, these are not fun quests.
