Questing in Sunstrider Isle
I took my newly created druid up to Sunstrider Isle, just because I was a bit tired of Mulgore, and definately the Barrens. When I finally got there (it was quite a long run, I was surprised), I was level 2 and didn't find any quests. It took me around 30 seconds to alt tab out and google for the answer, which said that the level 1-5 quests are only doable for BE's. I didn't know that. I had to grind up to level 4 to be able to take some quests in the next area.
Has Blizzard stated something about this? I know there is a quest which requires the Mana Tap ability and I already expected that this one wouldn't display for me. But the rest of the quests are perfectly doable for other races, so I don't see any reason other than a bug why they wouldn't display.

Yeah, that never made any sense to me. You can do almost all of the level 1-5 quests in other race's starting zones just fine. My BE priest has decided to become exalted with Orgrimmar (don't want to ride the chicken) and she went back at level 22 and did all the 1-5 Valley of Trials quests for the rep.
I have no idea why they locked out the BE start. Did they do that for the Draenei as well?

It's like that for both Draenei and Blood Elves. It was likely done originally to keep both areas from being too crowded when the game came out and since then Blizzard probably has forgot.

To my knowledge, they are aware of the problem, but it is a low priority to fix. My roommate and myself both had talked with GM's about it online.
