An Apexis Relic

Allright, there is a lot of confusion related to this so I will try to explain this quest for you all.

First off, you must gather one Apexis Shard (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32569). Then you need to locate an Apexis Monument. Around this monument, you will find 4 Apexis Relics. Go to one of them and stand on the white globe in the middle of the relic (Under the crystal). This way you will make sure you are in reach of all 4 buttons.

Click the Apexis Relic and you will be asked to use your Apexis Shard. After a few seconds a beam from the relic will hit one of the buttons around it. When the beam has hit a button, you simply push the button it hit.

Next level, the relic will hit two buttons. When that is done, you must push the buttons in the order the relic showed you. Continue this untill the quest is complete. I think it completed for me at level 5.

To make this easier, have a second computer with a text editor. Asign a number for each of the buttons from 1 to 4. I.e.: You get this order: 1, 1, 4, 3, 1, 2. Type this in your text editor while the beam hits. Relax, and push those buttons in WoW while you look at your text editor for the order. If you dont have a secondary computer, try a cell phone. Good luck!

An old-fashioned piece of paper works as well.

I read through every single comment here and still couldn't figure this out. I didn't understand what on Earth people meant when they said "click the button", "click the crystal", "click the bubble" or "press the correct number".

To start with, position yourself at one of the smaller floating crystals. Rotate your camera so you are looking straight down, zoom in, and move your pet off to one side.

You will see that each of the smaller floating crystals has a large bubble in the center directly under the crystal and four smaller bubbles that form the corners of a square. These smaller bubbles are what you click. They are initially all white, but when you right-click the smaller crystal and activate it they turn faint shades of yellow, red, blue and green. The crystal will make some sounds and flash, then the center bubble will generate a colored spark to the smaller bubble of the same color. You right-click the smaller bubble that the spark goes to, it plays a happy sound, then it starts a second sequence.

The Ogri'Lazy addon is helpful because you can use hotkeys to record the order of the sparks then go back through and click them. Note that you still have to click on the bubbles on the ground. The shortcut keys or macros are only for Ogri'Lazy or whatever other method people are using to keep track of the order. Those do not have anything at all to do with completing the quest.

As a side note, while this is clearly inspired from the old Simon game, it has a significant difference: the pattern resets every time. If Simon started with Yellow, the first color for the rest of your game is Yellow. In this quest the sequence could start with Blue, then the second iteration could start with Yellow. If you were expecting it to build on itself you're in for a surprise.
