This was an awesome quest to level skinning in- it might have been because cataclysm was just released, but it looked like the npcs where killing the crocadiles as well, which meant there were bodies litttered everywhere which could be skinned. I went from 20 to 75 in like 10 minutes.

I also noted quite a few copper veins in the general swamp area which were easily accessible.

First of all, the map of Gilneas City above is completely wrong. The quest giver is south of Hailwood Marsh.
Second, it is bugged for me atm. I got the quest, went north to the marsh, but i can't seem to be able to rescue the survivors. There is no way to interact with them. I have tried clicking on them, looking for some device i need to use to rescue them, killing crocs, abandoning and re-acquiring the quest, even re-logging, and nothing.It is the ONLY quest available for me atm and i can't seem to rescue a single survivor. 'bout to RAGE!
