I'm having the exact same issue - accept the quest, jump into the shredder, hit '1' repeatedly, it says I've completed it, but I can't turn it in.

Edit - one of my addons (carbonite or dominoes I'm guessing) monkeyed with the quest tracker layout - once I disabled addons, I got this: http://imgur.com/v0oKO.jpg

... click the button to turn in the quest.

I can confirm this worked for me. I use Dominos as well but it was simpler to just log out and disable all then log back in. I wonder why that quest does that. Seems strange that Blizzard would suddenly alter a quest to add that extra button to turn in.

Description

We're down to our last shredder. While no one was looking, I loaded it up with, shall we say, modified footbombs. Kid, I need you to get in that shredder and give 'em heck!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

  • The ReplacementsKezan · Level 1-20

    My guys are all on the injured roster! Our shredders are all kaput! The ref is about to call the game! It's down to the wire and I need you, <name>!!! Let's get one of these shredders in working condition. There are replacement parts all over Bilgewater Port.

  • Fourth and GoalKezan · Level 1-20

    It's all up to you, kid. You demolished the Steamwheedle Sharks, so now all that's left to do is to kick the winning goal. Now, just between you and me, I think we should do this one right. I don't want you to just kick a goal...
