Doing this quest as a group of six players on PC-NA, we ran into an interesting problem.
We noticed that in general, this quest is very inconsistent about which parts need to be done by individuals, and which parts move on when any one person in the group does them. The early parts of the quest "investigate the strange vines around exterior ruins" can be done by any member of the group and counts for credit for all of us. However, the later parts "find and free the remaining prisoners" must be done by each player individually.
We then reached the stage "Gather seeds from the harrada heart bulb and poison the harrada vines", and got stuck at "Gather Seeds from the Harrada Heart". After the first player interacts with the seed bulb, it disappears and no one else can use it. This persists despite all of the usual tricks: /reloadui, relogging, dismissing companions, and rezoning.
Also, one member of the group uses no addons at all.
It feels as though what happens is that the quest is sharing completion of that part with the whole group
without also awarding credit to all of us.
We attempted this quest twice (dropping it inbetween) and the same thing happened on the second occasion. While I was staring at the non-existent seed pod, another group of two players came by, but only one of them was on the quest, so they did not experience a problem.
