Anyone at Blizzard care to address why the Scourge Invasion doesn't reward all?
New character, level 7, only has 1 quest to do for the entire event. No item reward, no loot drops, no rep, just about the same XP for any other level 7 quest.
And you forum mods feel free to add to this too.

There are three quests one can complete if one is in your level range, actually. Each city has a similar quest to the one you completed.
While we're aware that there isn't a great deal of Scourge Invasion-specific content for those below level 50, we didn't leave the mid-levels out, either. There are new bosses in many dungeons for the duration of this event, and we included many level ranges. If you're looking to find the specific instances we chose... think Undead. ;)
Ideally it would be wonderful if we could cater to every single level range and playstyle in the game with each and every world event. However, the simple reality of the matter is that we have to release the patches at some point, and that requires us to make choices on what particular play experiences to flesh out. The Scourge Invasion is weighted towards the high end, for example, while the Midsummer Fire Festival is more evenly distributed but is less complex. If we spent a great deal of time fleshing out world event content for levels 1-10 -- a level range that already has a good bit of content, can be moved through quickly, and contains a smaller percentage of our playerbase -- we would have less time to craft content for the higher end. We did keep you in mind... hence the introductory quests outside the major cities.
Rest assured that we do consider all level ranges and playstyles when we're designing our World Events and design content accordingly. If this particular event didn't capture you, perhaps the next one will. :)[ post edited by Kisirani ]

The quests have a minimum level of 50. I'm not saying you can solo, but you can complete the quests if you group with friends.

Q u o t e:
Here's the way I see it...
If there's going to be an event that's only going to happen ONCE (most likely) on a server, EVERYONE of every level/class/race/faction/playstyle, should be able to not only participate in some way, but get some sort of a reward.
A good thought.
However, I don't think this will be the last you'll see of the Scourge... ;)
