This is *hardly* hard data since the post was in 2002, but I did a search through the internets and found the following:

I'd like to add one thing if I could. I've played nothing but a druid since playing EQ. While I agree with the high end druid, one of the things that frustrates me to no end is the lack of viability for me to do quests. I look at rangers, paladins, clerics, warriors and such, and see tons of class-specific quests for them starting in the lower levels, all for decent items. I look at the druid and most of the druid-only quests have either had the items nerfed or wiped out of the game. As such, I rarely quest until my mid-40s. The only quests I have actually attempted to do beforehand is the Testament of Vanear quest and the Tunare initiate-warden quests. And as everyone knows, those are not druid-only. Even with the addition of Kunark, no quests were really given especially for druids other than undesirable equipment (like Charm Plant and the handy shilelagh?). I wish there were better quests for druids before the epic or Velious/Luclin armors.

He implies that the Testament and the Tunare Initiate-Warden quests were the only worthwhile Druid quests, and that "Even with the addition of Kunark, no quests were really given especially for druids other than undesirable equipment".
As I said, considering it is a 2002 post, it can't be confirmed as classic. But this guy seems to believe that it was.
