Quest: Stones of Binding (not group-friendly enough)

[Zoidwaffle]

Current Behaviour

Everything works fine when solo, as far as I can tell.

The issue is that once a key has been looted from a Stone of Binding, another player cannot loot the key right away - the stone is showing the effects that it can be interacted with, but nothing happens when clicked. I don't have the exact time, but seems like it can be looted again after a several minutes.

Expected Blizzlike Behaviour

I don't know what should be expected officially - but I would expect a 2nd, 3rd etc. player to be able to loot the key shortly after the previous player.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. You need to be more than 1 character - I tested it using playerbots, but you can also just use 2 characters from the same account quickly relogging once the first is done
2. .tele circleofwest (this is just for one of them, which is enough for testing)
3. .quest add 651
4. click the Stone of West Binding, get the key
5. try to repeat 4. using another character, notice you can interact with the stone but there's no key (for quite a while, waited for 5 minutes and that wasn't enough)

Extra Notes

I initially thought it could be fixed by changing the respawn rate in the DB.

But the rate is already 2s, which should be fine:

mysql> SELECT `guid`,`id`,`spawntimesecs` FROM `gameobject` WHERE `guid` IN (15216,15398,16598);
+-------+------+---------------+
| guid  | id   | spawntimesecs |
+-------+------+---------------+
| 15216 | 2691 |             2 |
| 15398 | 2689 |             2 |
| 16598 | 2690 |             2 |
+-------+------+---------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

So anyone here with a hint to how this can be fixed, if it can be fixed? Thanks in advance.

OK, I think I found a way to fix it - I will post my suggested fix a little later, if it appears working fine after a bit more testing :-)
