It will only count the first wq I do. No matter how many wq I do the counter says "-1/10 World Quests complete." Help!

Description
As druids, our charge is to defend nature... and in turn, our home, Azeroth. Conflict breaks out all across the Broken Isles. The Burning Legion pushes forward, and numerous allies call out for our aid. We must focus our efforts on defense, before we can mount an offense against the Nightmare. Help our allies across the Broken Isles, then return to me when the situation is under control.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Focusing the Energies
In addition to shards of nightmare, we need Blood of Sargeras to reactivate the portal to the Rift of Aln. This rare reagent can be obtained from around the Broken Isles. Rumor has it that emissaries are in search of hardened adventurers, and may offer these in reward.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Enter Nightmare
The portal to the nightmare is ready, <name>. Remulos and the others have already gone ahead. There is no telling what horrors await on the other side, <name>. Good luck.
