You know, I've never been sent to the Searing Gorge either as Alliance or Horde. This is despite the fact that it's in the heart of Alliance territory and the Horde town of Kargath is right near the pass into the Searing Gorge. I finally went in there with my mid-50's undead priestess and found one quest series given by an obscure NPC along the northern edge of the Gorge. It's strange to have such a big well thought-out area in terms of design and artwork and yet have so little to do there.
Back to Lochnar's question, though, no if one is an "Achiever" type, it's likely that there will be vast stretches of the map that will remain covered. But like Bolty, I think this is a good thing. There are parts of the game that are designed specifically for Achievers, Explorers, Social (pets, for example), and Player Killers. If, like me, you're primarily an Explorer personality, then there are lots of stuff off the beaten paths to discover -- and some of them are pretty darned neat.
