[Into the Dunes] Quest isn't working properly

Ran into this bug today after wanting to run through and unlock an Allied Race. Have seen a lot of topics regarding the continuation of this issue.

What I’ve done so far:

  1. Disabled any script/addon that controls cut-scene skipping or progression
  2. Disabled all addons and scripts regardless of their category
  3. I tried doing the “type before the cut scene” trick
  4. Tried abandoning the quest
  5. Tried swapping toons to another alt and coming back (both while still having the question, and abandoning, swapping, coming back and picking up the quest)
  6. Tried to ALT+ F4, and the ESC + EXIT tricks during the cut scene
  7. I tried this on a max level 60 Blood Elf Protection Paladin, and a lower level toon (sorry I do not remember which of my other alts I tried, but it was below level 30, also a Blood Elf)

I noticed the following:

  1. At times, the cut scene seems to repeat itself as if it’s stuck in a foreach / for / while loop that doesn’t properly break point. This seems to be the case while having addons enabled.
  2. With no addons the cut scene plays once as if the break point is reached to move to the zoom out to the mounted toon
  3. In both cases, you get moved to a 3rd person view of you on the mouht just hovering, and either the game sends you back to town, OR in some cases I receive an error from blizzard and am disconnected from the server entirely (this is the same result addons or none).

So far I find no way to trick quest (i.e. walking) or using a regular flight point (I have a map in my toybox to acquire the points early).
