This expansions questing is so boring

I don't know if its just me but I'm at level 75 - did most of the quests in the first zone which just bored me to tears, I'm only just now starting underground and its still much the same. It's just picking up objects that are two feet away from npc's and returning them, adding things to furnaces and killing and collecting materials. The characters so far seem so basic with no backstory. Also, why are quests so hard to track now on the map? This is my personal opinion so far but I really need to know, does it get better from here? Please tell me it does.
