To answer your question about wether someone tipped me off : when I found the mount, I was like "so why did it appear" and wanted more info. So I went on wowhead and read the comments to find out - and there were no answers. So I realized nobody had found it on live, it was only on the beta. I was very surprised, so I searched for the secret finding discord and started posting. I was immediately jumped on by a bunch of extremely enthusiastic people who asked me 100 questions - what I was wearing, what items were in my bag, if my computer monitor was turned north or south (ok, joking about that last one, but only a little). All the while was I was saying : can you just get a tank to solo Plaguefall ? And it turns out it was that. And finally, I ran back because I had 3 minutes left on the Bellular video I was listening to, so I wanted to try to find the exit portal because I just didn't know where it is (isn't it in the corridor near the last boss's room ?) instead or just hearthing out. P.S : if anyone likes soloing, there is a full SL soloing guide on my channel (video) and on Wowhead (written)

I've definitely fallen into the trap of min/maxing my characters before, and it's a true breath of fresh air just to know there are people like you who still play this game to do what they enjoy and don't give a shit what anyone thinks. So many wow players have forgotten what playing a game to have fun means, but not you. More power to you man, hope you keep doing what you enjoy.

I click all my skills, but I have pretty fast clicking reaction, I mean I have done M+25s on druids and dks and hunters, Usually get at least 6 mythic bosses down, on my rogue I have been in the 2300 bracket a few times. The only things I don't just click on my bar is my druid healing spells when I heal party members because I use elvui and clique to click on the name plates with a mouse button. Only do that because it was so satisfying to cat sneeze mobs away and root them while I shifted from bear form to throw HOTs on party members and save a definite wipe. Really hot keys make you no better than a clicker. It just means you got good at the game in a different way. For vanilla players that weren't tryhards, following cookie cutter builds and memorizing macro hotkey rotation, clicking was the way you went. And if things got more difficult you had to get better at clicking. Hell the funniest thing I have ever seen was one of those try hard glads with all the rotation macro hotkeys and playing the flavor of the month class in maxed gear get totally destroyed by a friend in fresh 70 gear in arena, the reason it was funny was because my friend was a clicker...worse than that, he was a click to move player as well. Dude talked so much crap about clickers and keyboard turners and how you couldn't rate without hotkeys and moving with the mouse, and then he gets completely shat on....though I guess if we are being technical, my friend was kind of moving with his mouse.

They are just mad Durendil found it. Last time I played in Legion, he managed to piss everyone off because he was a "clicker". Average WoW sweatlord can't handle that. Upsets them immensely. Can't remember what he did, but he managed to solo.. something impressive? I saw the name and recognized it right away. He was always a gigachad. Surprised he still plays all these years later. In fact, surprised this is even in my recommended. I've not touched blizzard stuff in... like, 7 years. Hilarious to see all this time later this guy is STILL pissing off people sweating way too hard, and he's still way too nice/humble. Comical honestly. Good on him lol.

I have a video uploaded to the #Slime-Serpent channel where I got every debuff from every pettable slime kitten at once. I had seconds left on the first cat's debuff when I got the final one in the dungeon. Each cat has a unique debuff ID and it lasts 5 minutes. Using a party of 5 including a Warlock, Scroll of Teleport: Theater of Pain, and my Hearthstone, we managed to get all of the debuffs on one person in 5 minutes. Before flying was out. I was hoping they would combine into a new debuff or something wild.

Super big community wide secrets in games are always great, both the extra hidden content and ARG type variations you usually see. Destiny's had a few really good ones, Noita basically just is one all the way through, Inscryption is a bloody goldmine, etc. It's fun to see a whole community come together to get everything they can out of a game. Really proves the game's worth, when so many people are willing to go so far for a bit more of it. Plus, it's generally a fairly welcoming part of the community - they want to hear every single idea, and they need as many people out there trying things out as they can get.

I mean it is a pretty good secret. One that seems like a no brainer to check very early on. Clear the dungeon by yourself, walk around and go back to the entrance, did anything change? It kind of reminds me of artifact appearence for outlaw rogue, way back in Legion, that looked like Windfury. It was really simple, just kill two dungeon bosses that were like the ones you would've killed in classic. But when there was no results, people started to creating weird theories on how to get them. It also reminds me of that one comic strip where a bunch of adventurers enter a room of a dungeon and on the wall in big capital letters is the word "OVERTHINKING". And then they start chatting about if its a real trap or a fake one, or if the trap is triggered by overthinking.

I've actually got an even harder to discover secret in WoW: the Legion Frost Death Knight hidden artifact appearance. All Blizzard would say was the appearance was obtainable in game since day 1, it was simply that nobody had found it yet. People were data mining and scouring the entirety of Azeroth; sifting through old content; performing crackpot theories like kneeling in front of Arthas is ICC and talking to random Wrath NPC's for hidden dialogue... ravaging the game for any sign or clues that might indicate a quest chain not unlike that for Corrupted Ashbringer for Legion Paladins. Come to find out after weeks of this (8 or 9 weeks I believe) , they were just a random chance drop off the Soultakers, one of world bosses whose spawn hadn't come up in the weekly rotation yet. So everybody had been running around for absolutely no reason because it was literally just a time gate. After two months of this, Blizzard finally made a blue post saying it was attached to a boss that just hadn't come up yet. Dick move Blizzard.

Back in BC, that Boss in Sethekk that druids summoned was part of a long quest chain for their flying form...before it became a mount. I tanked that boss for some random dude on my server I remember. He was very happy.

I find this funny, as I'm the kind of person who after finishing a run will go back and check all the nooks and crannies mainly as I like to explore and see the esthetic of the places from a design standpoint. Even older runs I can run through solo I'll have a good around once it's cleared. If I still played I wonder how soon I would have stumbled onto this. rofl. All because they backtracked to leave. XD

Plaguefall DOES have a portal to go outside, he was likely just unaware of it. Once you kill the last boss, turn around and go into the room on the left. EDIT: No, it was discovered a few weeks before season 2. You either had to be in tankspec or be fully stacked out as dps to pull it off (pet classes had an edge because the pet could tank). 3rd boss was a really hard dps check.

The best part? people don't want to be fooled again, they'll remember the time they screwed up figuring out a super simple puzzle and will go to the end's of Azeroth if it means they might unlock something for throwing water on some random fire and it will be great, some real Mew under the Truck level nonsense is on the horizon!

Its like that shoplifter that tried to escape the shop and thought he was locked in. He pushed on the door frantically trying to escape, and then gave up when the Police arrived. The Police walked up and pushed the doors open easily from their side. Had the shoplifter pulled instead of pushed, he would have easily gotten away. Sometimes, things are literally just that simple.

The WoW playerbase has always had a problem with overthinking things. Another example is the "Barrel's o' Fun" world quest from Legion. If you go to the Wowhead entry on it, then top voted "tips" involve stuff like macros, add-ons, brute forcing it with random guessing or, (I'm not kidding here), recording a video and playing it back. I figured out the secret to this quest. *The barrels always move in straight lines.* That's it. Just remember that and following the right barrel becomes a lot easier.

As someone who used to be part of the mount hunting community way back in Panderia, yeah, I can easily see this happening. Also although Duren explained why he ran back I'd probably do that for fun, enjoy the scenery, maybe take some fun selfies, ect. Empty dungeons are enjoyably eerie. And I did solo for mounts as a hunter... Shame I mostly quit WoW.

An excerpt from A Treatise on Henbestian Logic, "The key to interpretation relies upon context." The large secret hunting community was interpreting everything to do with the slime serpent from the angle of it having to be an absurdly complex secret and the longer it evaded discover the more complex the answer had to be so I doubt the idea of just beating the dungeon solo ever occured to them. However to a person playing just for the fun of soloing content with their hunter the idea of requiring a complicated solution would have never entered the equation.
