Is there a way to turn this off? I don't wish to pvp and I'm not thrilled having a yellow quest marker not knowing if something else rides with it that I may wish to do.

I thought if we're not in war mode we wouldn't see war mode quests. This is the first time I've seen one, I'm hoping it's a glitch with the new patch and will be unavailable / unlisted if I'm not in war mode. One can hope, anyway.

For those who aren't into PVP, and usually have WM turned off, I recommend getting this done during faction assaults. There are usually 1-2 quests during the assaults that share the same location, so the factions are constantly fighting over it. No need to join a raid or a party, just go in and start hitting stuff. Reframe it in your mind as another objective (because, well... it is). I've always hated world PVP, but in the context of the assaults, it's a ton of fun.

Description

We've received numerous reports of the Horde overwhelming our forces within both Kul Tiras and Zandalar. Brute forcing the Alliance with sheer numbers is an age-old tactic of the Horde, but we can't allow them to get the upper hand. Venture forth throughout and thin their numbers the best you can. I recommend bringing reinforcements.
