Tired of Exile's Reach? Well, i got great news for you!
With the use of the Unstuck Website feature or any Hearthstone toy (Except Dalarand and Garrison Hearthstones), you can get teleported to the classic starting zones. This method works on any race.
Why are we only able to pick Exile's Reach as starting zone? Because the Firestorm admins think, those zones are too bugged to quest and enjoy them.
How long does it take to finish this starting area: N/A

Continue Questing through old zones or use Bfa/SL Timewalking from Chromie:
I see nothing wrong with questing in the zones around Durotar, simple Kill & loot quest should work. Quests which needed some scripting could've got bugged over the years.
If you've changed your mind and rather start the Timewalking Campaign of Battle for Azeroth or Shadowlands, you can do so by visiting https://www.wowhead.com/npc=172387/chromie#comments
