TBC guides are just god awful?

[plaguestorm172]

IDk what im missing but the guides for TBC are just lordie awful, i have noticed a fair few issues with the guide, being quests that dont appear, or arnt done yet, or dont even exist yet.
Aswell as stuff like quests right out being wrong..
Unyielding souls the guide says to kill 8 knights, 6 sorcerers, and 12 footman.
The quest ACTUALLY only needs you to kill 5 knights, but needs you to kill 10 sorcerers.
the only part it gets right is the footmen.

Minor errors are fine but when we are paying for this monthly, and the guides have constant errors like this it seems a bit dissapointing.

They have straight up copied their guide from retail. Just then I was tasked to do https://tbc.wowhead.com/quest=9821/eating-damnation which requires 15 Enraged Crusher Cores. however the guide is asking for 10. I was curious to see what the retail version is asking for and yep, you guessed it 10! https://www.wowhead.com/quest=9821/eating-damnation

If anybody from the Zygor team can give an explanation before I start recommending that people steer clear of them, that will be good.

I had the same issue as the guy above ^ Almost every zone has like 5 quests that have this issue, of the guide saying it wrong or a chain quest that the guide just messes up in. Also tells you to pick up quests that arent really there or require a higher level adn the guide doesnt tell you to grind mobs or do a couple dungeons to compensate for the level needed. Really dissapointed and i am sad to say that I have cancelled my subscription for this month. Here is the proof https://gyazo.com/f1fe46f9f309aba30a72cf67cf086483 https://gyazo.com/51cb3ca227a6f5f44c635309ffc05c88 https://gyazo.com/9757516fb56ccb2707132c3652457703

Another quest that the guide tells you to pick up but is required for a higher level and the guide doesnt tell you jack!!! https://gyazo.com/efc8432eb50bd8c543c935914428681e https://gyazo.com/6596227b56cea68677d3a4d4f6912f17

The guide registered that i had already accepted a quest, and in fact i never did!!! https://gyazo.com/b4c39b11240650591edfe186c0c43d7e

Im suppose to just grind out half a level.. Whats the point of paying for a guide when its just "oh yeah farm half a level here"

For the Unyielding Souls quest kill count issue, this appears to have been corrected in the latest version of the guides.

For the Enraged Crusher Cores count issue, it is true that the Horde side has it set to 10 in the code text, but the addon is designed to correct any wrong numbers by looking at what the server says the count is and overriding it. Additionally, for a quest to show as gray during turn in that means it doesn't see the quest in your log, so there's some weirdness going on with that quest. In the future, please provide a bug report as it's almost impossible to solve quest issues like this without it. To do this, open Options, click About, then "Create a bug report".

For the "The Eyes of Skettis" quest showing as already accepted, we will need to see a bug report. To do this, open Options, click About, then "Create a bug report".

As for grinding out half a level, Classic is way more grindy than retail because there just aren't enough solo quests in the game, they want people to do group stuff, dungeons, and social activities by design. To compensate for this, we add grind steps so players grind small portions of each level so they don't get hit with a huge "grind half a level" requirement later on. We had hoped there would be less of a need for grind steps throughout TBC, but apparently, they're still just as needed, so we're working on adding those back.
