As of 15 Dec 2019 this quest seems to be bugged. Not getting any credit for flags I click on. Dropped the quest, picked it back up, but experiencing the same issue. Submitted a bug report, but not sure if this is a me issue, or its happening to everyone. Also, in the video linked to above, it shows several areas throughout the vale where the quest gives credit, however when I picked up the quest it only displays a single area to the SW of the zone near the corner of the walls.

That is every comment on this page.

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.
