Tell me just something. I remember when the BC came out and people were able to complete the quests from the Blood Elves and Draenei scattered around the world at 2.0 but before the xpac actually came. Since Azshara will still be on the non-expansion world, will 80s be able to access these quests to get rep?
I died on one, and was not able to mount a new one to complete the quests :/ What do I do to mount a runaway shredder again?

What to do
Description
I've been trying to impress our new Horde allies with our legendary goblin efficiency, but in hindsight automating the shredders was a bad idea. Now they're mindless killing machines, rampaging over the countryside. Don't get me wrong - that kind of thing has its place - but for the time being I need a brave {class} to help me get these things under control. It's easy. Automated shredders, like all machines, must first be beaten into submission. Afterwards, seize the controls and I'll radio you instructions.
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 Captain's Logs
Now that you've got that thing under control, let's gather up the lumber I was supposed to be collecting. Otherwise these orcs are going to build a catapult out of ME! Fresh lumber should be stockpiled all around the area. Use the shredder to collect all you can.
