For some reason I cannot abandon this quest. The option to abandon it is completely greyed out. This quest is a real eyesore to look at. Please, please get rid of it.
From what I heard, the quest is shared among all toons on your account, but only the toon that accepted the quest originally can abandon it.
This is untrue Aggretsuko, NONE of my toons can abandon this quest.
Did you ever figure out how to drop it?
I understand it is true that it can be dropped from the original character that picked it up…but only if no progress is made.
I tried opening tickets and they only referred me to the forums.
