Rising Recruiter NPC Not Spawning

[NaiaLalita]

I am also experiencing this problem on the Zalera server.
Two people claim to have seen the NPC, but for some reason neither one participated, and they do not have any of the token rewards. I find it well within reason to deduce that they're either trolling, or have fallen for another player's trolling actions (every server at this point has a Player Character named "Rising Recruiter" to poke fun at how broken and/or poorly implemented this seasonal quest has been)

He appeared last night on Phoenix, got to try the instance, then went to do Eureka for a bit. When I came back to Ul'dah, he was gone again, haven't been seen since, I think :/
