    Angry Walk a mile in their shoes

    Was just trying to do dailys in TB peninsula, everything went fine, did it with a full group of guildmates! Until the quest "Walk a mile in their shoes", as Alliance I have to escort an ugly gnome. Anyway, the problem(s) with this quest is:

    - You can't summon ONE for a whole party, everyone have to take their own.
    - The NPC is chasing other players, friendly NPC's, hostile NPC's, the other factions escort-NPC etc.
    - If another Prisoner mounts up just before yours do, it will run after it and will/may despawn. (Without getting the quest done for you)
    - Running back and forth, not stopping where it is supposed to stop, and keep running instead.
    - The NPC doesn't have a name-tag for who it belongs to, so people are chasing each others NPC's.
    - When you are about to finish the quest (or before in the keep), people of the opposite faction are attacking you or your NPC, killing you/it so you will have to go through this hell again. (I play on a PvP-server, so not much they can do about it, but anyway!) ^^
    I'm sure there is a LOOOOT more with this quest, but the one today took the price.

    There was a blood elf rogue standing where you spawn the horde NPC, and he wasn't doing the quest, just spawning 10-12 NPCs, running off to destroy for everyone else. If you attacked the rogue, ALL THE NPC's would run back and litterally ONESHOT you!

    I am so sick and tired of this! I didn't get the quest done after trying to do it around 10 times, so I will try another time a little later. But seriously? Anyone else agreeing with that this quest is crap and have to be redesigned or removed?

    -> English isn't my first language and I am really frustrated! Sorry for misspelling. <-

    Agreed! One person should NOT be able to abuse quest mechanics to practically one shot a group of 5 ppl. Change or remove this quest thank you. (Was with Tiki when this happened, tried to kill the rogue .. it became ugly)
    GM of Roiyaru - Frostmane. Ilinára, Combat rogue. So good at stealth I can't even find myself.

    Yeah, I hate this quest. If someone completes it right before you, you have to do it again, which is utter crap. Worst part.. this also happens even if the person that has taken the guy right before you is in your group... they need to either fix it so this doesn't happen or remove it.

    Also posted this on the official forums (EU) so Blizzard will be informed!

    I reported this the other day. The GM basically said, "This is an issue we are aware of, and the proper teams are working on fixing it."

    Post it on the forums, or put an in-game ticket in if you haven't already. It's a major pain and I Just typically skip this one anymore.

    Already posted it on the forums but no answer :/ Also this have been a problem since launch and still no note from Blizzard that they are aware of it, except for GMs.

    Just tried to do this quest 9 times, this has to be the most buggiest thing in wow.

    It sometimes despawns without a reason, it walks in random directions and despawns a moment later etc. As you mentioned, if someone else completes it a little before you it will despawn too.

    I'm so sick and tired of this quest, just abandoned it and won't even bother with it next time.

    its because you play on a pvp server this quest is busted. on a pve server the quest is fine. you can still kill the other npc but only before the other faction picks the guy up. once that quest is started the npc isnt kill able. he also doesnt chase people down.

    There is a hidden objective in that quest, it tests the players patience.
