True - have not seen that again where you have to put the roof fires
out...I've seen now ground fires to stomp out with your feet, and also
buckets that you throw on ground fires....Maybe they changed it.

Are you talking about the quest where you click on the flame thing which
allows you to see the guys and you have to free 15 of them? If so, I do
that in a minute and you may be doing it the really hard way. (again,
this is assuming that this is the quest) You stay on your flying mount
(disk works best) the whole time and hover just off the ground and you
can click on the green dudes without drawing aggro from the guy right
next to you. If you are too far down and they come at you, just space
bar up, and they reset. That whole quest is done from the flying mount.
If you are talking about quest of freeing of the 5 good guys that the
bad guy is strangling, then you have to fight them, but they count
toward your 12 normal kills you have to do anyway.

Well - to be honest, I can cheat it a bit and it's still a pain in the
ass. I found the flame doesn't go out during a mages blink... (<evil
laugh> heh-heh-heh)
BTW, don't go in the first building, go around the left side of it, then
once on the other side move up the right....after that it's hand/eye and
lots of luck....I save my blink for when I get in trouble or to get
through a tough spot. I'm wondering if a druid loses the flame if he
goes to travel form....hmmm :)

When you pick up the quests, I think they are white bubble choices to
"challenge" so-and-so in the ring or it should be from one of the guys
up there...Hard to 'rememberize' while away from game.... :)
