Most quests, with a couple of exceptions, give you the equivalent of
killing 10 to 20 mobs of about your level. That in addition, of
course, of the experience you got for killing the mobs involved in
the quest.

Once the time spent running between good xp spots and quest givers
becomes larger than the time spent killing 20 mobs there, the quests
lose their appeal, from an XP point of view. Min-maxers take just
quests that would have involved them getting to the "good xp spot"
anyway, and disregard all the rest. And they don't leave until the
xp spot is no longer attractive for "grinding", and only then, go
complete the quest.
