Can't get "Meet the scout!" and start your Operation: Shieldwall questline?
You probably did a faction change from Horde to Alliance recently.

Solution :
• Talk to Taradormi and click I want to return to Lion's Landing.
• After that you will be able to see Operation: Shieldwall's questhub and start the questline at Admiral Taylor with A little Patience.
• Click +1 on this post to help the others find the solution.

    There's no time to waste, we need to find Troteman and secure the beach. We should check on the dwarves, too - the Explorers' League is tough, but they're no army. They should be along the cliff just north of here. Let us ride, <class>. For our friends. For the Alliance.
