looking for advice on how to proceed

[Dubmanorange]

I have a 59 druid and was quading in Wakening Lands this morning around 630 EST, between quads went afk to use the facilities and came to find myself in my bind spot after having my face eaten off by a panther. As it was a few minutes until waking up my kids i decided to push corpse retrieval and rez mission off until lunch-ish when i had a small break. 11:30 EST port into WL go to the location of my demise i /corpse and get the message "you dont have any corpses in this zone"

just in case i gate back to Timorous in case i somehow died there and get the same message.

im in a bit of a conundrum about how to proceed as in the petition FAQ they say they only summon corpses that have rotted. Should i just put in a petition and by the time they get around to it it will have rotted? or does this fall into some weird glitch clause?

any advice would be welcomed
