I love diplomacy, dont get me wrong, but I am SOOO frustrated right now.

I have been working on my horse quest ALL afternoon (from 4:30 until 10:00pm) - yeah, a long time. Here is my complaint.

I am a half elf who is forced to do the Kojani diplomacy line (evidently half-elfs were shorted in this area). I am on the last quest, where I actually get my horse as a reward.

The QG sends me off from Ca'ial Brael Harbor to Ca'ial Brael with a "loaner" horse and 3 statues to deliver and expects me to have this task completed within 40 min. It takes me roughly 5 minutes to get to Ca'ial Brael. The "upgraded" NPC AI makes it all but impossible to win parley. My first attempt, I ran out of time on my second delivery. My second attempt I won all the delivery parley and thought, "WOOT!!!" I was half way back to the QG when I realized the timer was still counting down ... "HOLY CRAP!" I didnt realize that the quest timer included my returning to the QG /geesh! I was literally 20 paces away from the QG when the timer ran out.

IMO, if the timer isnt going to stop when the deliveries are completed and only when I have returned to the QG, then the "track quest" should have that included as one of the accomplishments toward completion.

I am so frustrated at this quest I could cuss. I personally do not think that the timer should continue counting down ... it should stop once your tasks (deliveries) have been completed, and the fact that it doesnt and is not made clear in the quest's log is just plain wrong.
