Since the drop rate or the ore on OOT island has been reduced, which is a come trick of Verants its rengerated a massizve bottle neck on this quest. The side effect is that peeps have this island well over camped and KSing is common when a Cutthroat spawns. Trackers sit and wait for pops while none trackers run around in circles in the hope of seeing a Cutthroat pop and get to it before the trackers. Bards have the upper hand with speed though.
After talking to a GM its already been put back to the developers to look into the quest again. So it may well be nerfed very soon or the cutthroats moved onto Mire island. This quest is not set to leave the Legends server and was never intended too.
