How is this not a larger deal to the devs? We haven't even gotten a pat on the head "we're working on it" comment.
And my apologies, trying to get 40 people at any time to work together and complete a quest one at a time is not a real solution -- it's the province of a divine miracle during normal hours, and something most of us simply are unable to make happen given griefers and the people who just don't read chat and come running up.
It's gating content for us, and would be nice to get this resolved.
