A lot of quests (not just epics) were likely leaked or written up from the test server. Without some sort of leak or guidance there would be almost no way to figure out some of them.

For example, the Veeshan's Peak key requires killing Pained Soul. The PH for Pained Soul is just some random ghost in an area full of random ghosts in Trak's Tooth on a 6 minute timer. Pained Soul is super rare and might spawn once in a 24 hour period after consistently killing his PH. There is no way someone just randomly picked that one ghost and camped him for days on end to finish the quest, without some sort of hunch or understanding that this was the specific PH.
Disagree, it's completely plausible. Back when kunark came out people were largely pretty naive about the game, and combined with the high server pops at the time they'd do things like form pickup groups in TT at the ruins around seb. The pained soul PH is static and doesn't roam, so it stands to reason that somebody just noticed one day while camping in that area that he popped right there and they made note of it.
