Yes, actually! Hearthglen you didn't have to GO into all that much, and when you did you knew to saddle up all the friends you could dig up because you were heading to say hello to elites, for two or three quests.
NEW Hearthglen? You have to go back in *five or six times*, where you will get two or three mobs aggroing on you, plus a chain of pats that Hellfire buzzards envy. And you have caster/healers. (Who shoot RAVENS at you.) The quests themselves DEMAND you wander around aggroing things (Collect 16 items that are guaranteed to be found near mobs. Kill four 'friendly' NPCs -- who are located all over the place, and guaranteed to be near mobs. Kill mounted people and STEAL THEIR HORSES.)
