Choose My Adventure Live: Balloons and level 45 to 49 PVP

Welcome to the new day for Choose My Adventure Live. Today we have PVP as scheduled, but first, Roblinator is going to help a little orc boy find his balloons. Please join me in game or by watching the stream above and joining in the chat after the break.
Update: The stream is now over, you can watch the replay of the new balloons quest and Eye of the Storm by clicking on the image above.
So obviously most of you are not completionists, because you don't want me to complete either the Eastern Plaguelands or the Badlands but instead want me to hurry over to Winterspring at level 50. As usual, your wish is my command. I don't know if I'll be level 50 next week. If not, we'll return to the Badlands.
Also, I don't think this questing together en masse thing is working out. When we have a full group or two groups competing for the same quest items and mobs, it's very time-consuming. I don't have a solution for this. Do you? If so, please help me in the comments.
Please join us on Zangarmarsh (US-PVE-H) in It came from the Blog. Anyone can invite, so /whisper Roblinator or any online member. You are all welcome as long as you play by our simple rules -- basically, don't be a funsucker! Visit the guild FAQ for more details.

Well Robin, Kelius here. The way I could think of that would speed up the questing would be to have everyone going with you turn on "Pass on Loot". Then you'd get all the drops and the mobs would still die faster. Downside is that you'd slowly out-level those of us who are helping you as we would be stuck in the quest progression. We could, of course, go back after the stream and do the quests, thus catching up, but that's twice the work for the helpers.
Another option would be to make questing days solo or non-questing helper only. The solo mode could make you lonely and we helpers sad, and the above objections apply to the non-questing helper method.
I just thought of something. When we quested last time, Kelius and Amanj were in the 2nd group and trying our darnedest to stay ahead of you in the quest chain (since we didn't read the quests we passed you up). We saw your group every now and then at the quest hub, but at least we were able to keep up quest-wise. Now a group of a few isn't going to be able to stay ahead of you but perhaps the helpers could group and stay behind you. And help you out if needed for a rare group quest.
I watch the stream as we play so it would be easy to pace it to stay behind you in the quest chain if necessary (provided the others watch as well).
Another idea would be to have the helpers grab the quests as fast as we can without really reading them and the book it to the questing area to start gathering zombie pig spleens or whatever it was while you take your time and read those quests.
Well if I think of anything else I'll post more ideas. Sorry to ramble :)
