      There is also an issue of repeating the same pattern over and over again.
      My first encounter with dailies was rather positive one, since at that time I was a noob, who didn't know any better way to grind gold. And while there were some unique rewards hidden behind rep, at that time dailies were completely optional. It wasn't a big deal.
      Still two expansion latter. I realized that the only reason why I log in even when not feel like to play at the moment was because I had to do my dailies.

    So, retrieving the grandfather's hammer went from a story mission that locks you out of Honeywood for a long while to a daily grind quest.

      Very true!

I do skip their dialogue, but the quests where we have to follow an NPC to and from a location are annoying, especially since they can be idiots and get themselves killed. The escort quests in Klurikon to return the 3 or so NPCs back to the camp are the most annoying. I think it's maybe the blacksmith or someone who's in a cave and she's a pain to protect. That said, their AI isn't the worst I've encountered for protection/escort quests.

    When our hero, ScarHead was trying to get Bodger to skip, and rudely interrupted Bodger, then Bodger should have used the Greg listening technique. Step forward and hug ScarHead tightly, shove a shiv against his ribcage, and say his lines. After every sentence state, "Nod if you understand". Believe me, ScarHead would have listened. I do believe Rowan is very familiar with the technique.
