Can't complete storyline quest because world quest overlaps the completion area

am trying to complete Survey Says in Suramar and the world quest barrels o’ fun is over the same are as the one of the steps in the quest. I have never been able to complete the barrels of fun, not a twitchie player. is there any way to complete Survey Says? the world quest has 2 days until expires.

Barrels of fun is pretty forgiving. You’ll eventually get it done just by guessing randomly each time. You just have to guess correctly a certain number of times (4 I think?) to complete it. When you guess wrong, it will remove a barrel to make it easier (to a minimum of 3) but doesn’t wipe any progress you’ve made on correct guesses so far.

I realize it’s still annoying, but it can be brute forced.

I am having the exact same issue and unfortunately whoever answered you was WRONG. You need to place the stupid beacon but I can’t, and can’t advance the stupid story. Were you able to get past it?
I put in a ticket anyway, that’s just ridiculous.

No, no it can’t. Thanks for playing though.

April of 2022, and this infuriation of a wq is still there, still blocking my progression. OMG WTF
