TheWoWDBDon't be confused by the quest text before you go to finish it; the tower doesn't actually need to be destroyed for you to complete this. It merely needs to be assaulted.

One of several "scaling" quests which grants more exp as you level up, instead of less.
For example, most quests are red at one point, turn orange, yellow, green and then eventually gray as you outlevel it, and slowly decreasing the amount of exp you earn. This quest starts out yellow, and remains that color no matter what level you are. As such, it grants a gradually increasing amount of exp depending on what level you turn it in which is seemingly based on the amount of exp a "typical" yellow quest at that level would give.
8460 exp @ level 51 with the 20% heirloom exp bonus
8820 exp @ level 52
9120 exp @ level 53
- You need to join to the instance of pvp battle "Alterac Valley" to do this quest, by going inside the cave in front of you and talking to Grumbol Grimhammer.
- Choose to join the "Alterac Valley (40v40) Raid battle" from a Battlegrounds list. It will pull you into the battleground.
- All allies will aim to get to a tower or a bunker. Just following them and helping others will earn this quest.

Before join the battle, you can learn some of the basics from "Basic Guide to Alterac Valley"..

Description
Towers and bunkers are key defensive positions, and so we must hold as many as possible! I want you to attack a tower or a bunker in Alterac Valley. To do that, enter a tower with a Horde banner atop it. You will see another enemy banner inside. Pull out that banner, and a white Alliance banner will appear in its place. Well done! At that point your mission for me will be complete, but hold the area long enough, and if the Horde doesn't take it back, then it will be destroyed!
