TheWoWDBWhich Blizzard programmer was on drugs when they decided that professions just HAVE to be tied to raids and dungeons in the first place? So, a solo player, not in the guild, using lfg and taking the chance of getting in a group that kicks players for little mistakes or doesn't play the way the tank feels they should, has no chance of completing the quest. Nice Blizzard, nice.
I pull fair dps, not raid quality, I don't want to be. So, more times than I care to count, some tank doesn't like the way I'm playing and kicks me, for no apparent reason. Even when we've not wiped the tank starts crying about this or that and suddenly I'm kicked. So, I don't like running dungeons, thus I can not even get into the dungeon to do the quest.
Well, maybe the quest isn't necessary for the profession, idk. It's not necessary for me anyway. I don't think I'm the only player who feels this way.
I fully expect the flames to start flowing from this post too. IDC, I won't be reading them.

Agreed. Except for exceptional gear and boss rewards, the game should be completely soloable. Forcing us into dungeons and raids makes the game less enjoyable for those of us that like to solo.

Description
There is one more demon hide to gather... but it isn't that of a demon. It's a dragon. Nythendra, great green dragon, has nearly been eaten up by the Nightmare. Only a master skinner would be able to remove what bits of bug-eaten hide remain on her body. Go on then, {name}. Show me what you've learned.
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.

Oh yes, I've seen me fair share of demons while in dese lands. And skinnin' dem ain't no easy task. Their hides are tougher than normal animals, fibrous, see? But if you be wantin' to make da most of their skins, den ya need to be practicin' more.
