The mere existence of this quest baffles me. I thought that we passed the point where you needed to go in raids for the story? We have story mode now for raids and this quest will mostly be done by loreheads. So why didn't Blizzard make a story mode for that boss?
I know that it can be done by facerolling your keyboard in LFR, but that's not the point.

Description

We have prepared ourselves as best we can for the next stage. Now, we must venture into the deepest part of the Rift of Aln. Into the Dreamrift. It's a place so dangerous that even the Shul'ka hesitate to go, but we must. Aksem needs us to collect the most powerful infusion of Aln there is. Are you ready?

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.
