Sometimes it worked backwards. Lot of those types of areas weren't deserted like they are on P99, and folks trying to make experience would get a drop that they had no idea of the use of. For Pained Soul, medallions were obvious enough to someone doing the quest that as soon as someone posted someplace that this mob dropped some unknown medallion, that would've been all that was needed for it to rapidly turn into common public knowledge.
The epics, my understanding is that some of them were solved via a combination of community effort and brute-forcing trigger phrases, while some of the tougher ones needed a bit of quiet leaking or developer "help" before they got figured out. The epic quests definitely are not created equal.
Worst was original Fiery Avenger, quest was completely broken but devs said it was in and working so a lot of folks spent a lot of effort going noplace. The devs were not always to be trusted, something that bears rememberance when researching old posts for P99 purposes.
