Might want to leave this one for last if you only play during prime time, people with flyers will steal them from you nonstop and you can't do a damn thing about it, took me 30 min to complete this garbage quest.

Totally skippable quest and not worth your time. The 150 reputation you can easily gather elsewhere.
Blizzard has absolutely mastered the art of making the most annoying World Quests in the Patch 8.2.

Be aware that even if you're in the very middle of the green landing zone -- signified by your character holding out a little cushion for the Engineer to land on -- other players can stand on top of you, and whether it's through server desync or crappy quest design, they can "steal" the quest progress. Best to do this at a time when nobody else is around.

Description

We got actual ABDUCTIONS happenin' here, {name}! Honest to gold, flying robots are swoopin' into town and snatchin' up people like it's closin' time at Gallywix's buffet! Lucky for the Rustbolt Resistance, Gazlowe called in me and my explosives to save the day. You wanna pitch in? Take one of my rocket launchers and blast those containment crates outta the sky. Whatever they've got trapped inside will come tumblin' down real fast, so you gotta run underneath and catch 'em.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
