I used my mount to run into the city, and saw another player walking around with the quest NPCs.

So you can either grab the quests from someone else wandering around, or you can dismount and the NPCs will spawn for your character.

This one had me puzzled for a bit as well.

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.
