TheWoWDBWhy is the skiff not just a normal vehicle so i can spam 1 and fire at things like most of these types of quests?
Quest
Skiff Joyride
A World of Warcraft quest in Naigtal. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

Truly one of the worst of its kind:
✅ Starting delay - because someone thought it would feel "fun" to group up with other players on the skiff - which I'm sure will rarely happen after week 3.
✅ Non keybindable actions - when actions actually require clicking on every GCD. Proper vehicle UI has been here forever, why not now?
✅ No looping around - Contrary to other strafing WQs for quite a few expansions now, once a "round" ends it just takes you back. Got one tiny objective missing? you have to join the skiff's next round.Why even change things that work, especially in no-content content that gives no-reward rewards like WQs are, is beyond me. WQs should be straightforward because nobody that puts in the time really enjoys that gameplay.
This quest is poorly designed and creates a frustrating player experience.
