Classic The eternal traveler quest turn in

Do you have to buy heroic edition to turn it in? I tried looking up how to turn the quest in but appearently you gotta be on the mount you get from buying heroic edition. If this is true this game is fucking bullshit. whats the point of even being able to do the quest if i cant turn it in. Or am i just stupid and there is a way? via /r/wow https://ift.tt/3n3uf7U
