I thought we were past this kind of design. The cages are only available for one person to interact and then they disappear for some time and other people have to wait for them to re-appear. Very annoying.

The flying "fortress" around 73,44 has two that spawn in a couple of minutes, and it's usually deserted. Just be careful not to aggro.
Blizzard logic. Three hours of watching other players get them before you. Thanks Blizzard. Asinine.

What to do
Description
N'Zoth's forces struck the Vale suddenly. By the time I and my Shado-Pan arrived, many of the Golden Lotus had already been taken captive by the Old God's forces. Even with our combined might, we have only been able to hold off the invaders from taking more of our people. Those already taken, however, are still within the clutches of the Old God. I know we have had our differences, {name}, but if you could aid us in their recovery, the Shado-Pan would be in your debt.
