I dug up this old log recently and it amused me. Since I'm never planning to try this quest again (and thank god there's no reason to anymore), it can stand as proof that sometimes people have actual, I guess, rp motivations to raid. And since this was my only attempt to do the quest "legit", no one was more surprised than me that this worked:
