This quest, with the way things are right now, is absolutely absurd. At the moment, I am spending much more time killing the sand ogres/pygmies (which don't even give decent XP) than I am killing the water golems (which are often far enough under the water, I have to pretty much swim for them). For every 5 water golems, I have to pry 20-30 sand ogres/pygmies off my poor dragon's back. I could understand this if the requirement were lower, but 40? It's ridiculous.

The problem is more in the runaway spawn of the sand pygmies/ogres. I don't think we really need quite that many running laps around every inch of the Lakes of Crystal Tears.
