When I scouted, I heard and saw things that I don't understand.
Perhaps if I describe it to you and the goblins, you will know what it means.

This is the dumbest quest I've been on in a LONG time!
everytime I get to a goblin, I get targeted, and "sneak" doesn't work if I listen in.
Then I die in seconds, over and over again. If this wasn't part of the campaign
I'd abandon this in a heartbeat and never revisit it.
Couldn't find the 4th one, so posting locations here, start just above quest giver on top of the mini-tower/building:
/way The Ringing Deeps 64.27 80 On Top of Tower
/way The Ringing Deeps 63.05 80.76 On Bridge
/way The Ringing Deeps 63.47 78.82 Under 4 Post Building
/way The Ringing Deeps 65.48 77.25 Tower with Gears & ChainsFace the goblin there and press [spell=457345]
If you get targeted by [spell=460864] press [spell=457871]
You can use [spell=457306] to make this go faster! Good luck and enjoy the patch!Next, find the cave location here: /way The Ringing Deeps 66.64 78.43 Cave Wall
The Foreman's Office is here: /way The Ringing Deeps 60.65 86.86 Foreman's Office
Finally use your extra action button [spell=457883] next to the [npc=227016]
Another quest with totally un-in-tu-itive mechanics that makes me think it was made by new devs that don't know WoW gameplay very well. For example, why does stealth not work like it does for every other character and class and quest like this in the game?
Anyway, whoever made it, they did not do a good job; you should not have to come to Wowhead first to find out how a quest like this is supposed to work without it being annoying.
EDIT added after finishing questline: On the positive side, overall I really enjoyed this storyline as a whole (although I wish they'd given Renzik the Shiv a voice actor, poor guy). It did a great job of leading into the Undermine(d) patch, for which I am pretty hyped. So, credit where it's due.
EDIT 2: why on earth does Wowhead's profanity filter trigger for the word un-in-tu-itive?

We've got an intel problem, but we've also got a clank problem. If you look over there, there's a big, haywire mech that's just going crazy. There's no way anyone's going to uncover anything while that's out in the field. We should do something about that.

So Gallywix has chosen to show his ugly face here, and it looks like he's got himself organized. We should report this to Alleria. See how she wants to handle it.
