Mop classic, pagle server.
Trying to do the mantid under fire quest where you throw the oil bucket and the torch. They don’t do anything to the mobs down below no matter how many times I throw them. Fortunately, I was able to go down there and kill the mobs directly. But the gimmick mechanic for the quest doesn’t function at all.

It’s not working on Mankrik either.
Also not working properly on Benediction. I managed to get a few kills when the Mantid were literally right up against the wall but everything else further out was a no go.
EDIT: Was able to get some more kill credit by flying down and killing them manually.
Not working for me either on Mankrik. They randomly disappear when you’re in the pot and nothing happens to the mobs when they are there using the pot.
seems to be a phasing issue
Update: Can confirm. Just go down and kill them the old fashioned way. Might even be faster anyway.
Same problem completely bugged
We deployed a hotfix this week that makes the cauldron a flying vehicle. If you fly out into the Dread Wastes, the quest should be completeable.
We have heard reports that Spreading the Warmth is not completeable at this time, however.
Still not working on ateish, flying into dread wastes spawns them and you can douse them in oil but the torch will not light them in my experience. Few others in chat mentioned it too.
The achievement “Spreading the Warmth” is still not tracking any of the mantid deaths.
This is a separate issue but we are aware. 
I’ve tried this today. Everything appears to be working fine now, including the achievement. At least for me.
My wife and I as well as one of our guildmates were unable to complete this quest last night on the Remulos server. The torch simply does not ignite any of the mantid no matter how much oil is dropped and many of the mantid evade the oil drops. After a few minutes of trying ALL of the mantid simply de-spawn from the viewpoint of the kettle. They are all still down there if you fly down and look.
The only way we have been able to complete the quest is if the “Enemy at the Gates” quest is also offered that day as the kills from that quest count towards this one. Enemy at the Gates was not offered last night as the complementary quest was the Roll Club one.
Thanks.
Tried this quest yesterday on Pagle server (alliance). Michaeas’ experience mirrors mine. I had to go down there manually and kill them directly to get the quest done. The torch doesn’t do anything but get the mobs evade cheating… and then they disappear.
