this cooking daily is still in the game, and the spawn rates are not fast enough.
Not only does this make the quest feel like a stupid waste of time, but I would be interested to see the stats for how many people idle in dalaran on days when this quest is active vs days when it's not.
Most people just afk by a spawn point till they're done, but even if you run around looking for glasses that still seems to count as idling.
