Main and story quests

in World of Warcraft

Just wondering, is there such thing these days in WoW as main and story  Quests?

 

I just played trough the Pandaren starter area and actually liked the pace and the sories, now i am a returner from vanilla and things have changed in the big bad open world of Azeroth, so have they added main quest lines that tell major stories and advance you trough chunks of the world?

 

And is there a log or list of these main quests somewhere? (Horde side)

 

And since leveling goes ultra fast these days, is there a way to stop gaining XP, so i will be able to enjoy these stories and enjoy the best part of WoW, their dungeons?

    I loved playing the main story in MOP - Chen Stormstout and his niece Lili were an excellent story driver in the four winds area, being fully voice acted also helped. I liked that quests were split up into small linked stories and you got an achievement for completing those, I think it's the best story content blizzard has done, just a shame so many would have just skipped the all dialogue and events and then wondered were all the content was.

    that's one thing I really disliked about Cata

    many long quests no longer exist

    to answer your question,

    maybe looking at the zone series?

    In Cataclysm WoW added many super-amazing quest- and storylines that last for the whole zone, but there's no mainquest/sidequest system in WoW so you don't really know what these storyquests are. You could ofc always check WoWhead or some other information website, but that could easily spoil the fun of seeing the story for the first time.

    I think its a bit pricey, i dont se why a service like this should cost money...

     

    myselves i am a big fan of GW2s downleveling to the zones max level, it keeps all content somewhat challenging at all levels, and it prevents max level characters from ganking so easilly on low level characters... Its a win win all over the place
