Still bugged as of Patch 6.2. Argent mobs stand around idle, stuck under the parachute buff.

They don't engage the scourge and the scourge ignores them, so they don't easily die and it takes forever for them to reset so they can be killed off by the gargoyles.

Reported on the bug forum.

This is seriously creating a huge bottleneck in this quest hub.

This quest led to one of the most amusing bugs I've ever seen in WoW.

The Gargoyles that pick up the Argent Crusaders can be attacked, and by accident my Whirlwind hit one right as it was swooping towards a Tauren Crusader. Well both mobs bugged, and instead of the Tauren being picked up and dropped, he just hovered a few inches above the ground with a Gargoyle stuck to his back.

What resulted from this unholy union is effectively a Tauren with a jet pack. He zoomed around the battlefield, still in control of his movements, but all the while supported by his Gargoyle strapped to his back Banjo-Kazooie style.

I about died laughing.

Those sky terrors are destroying my men and women! Dying from falling is a horrible way to go. {class}, you have to get these parachutes out to them! At least then they'll have a fighting chance to survive.

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.
