you're all just wrong, armilus' understood my method completely.
DOMO LOOT does NOT EXIST pre 1.4. There is slight evidence that 1.4 (20th April 2005) added the chest and the items inside. They ALL HAVE A CERTAIN SPECIFIC ITEM ID, valuing around LATE 18000s. (1.4 = LATE 18000s).
RAGNAROS LOOT __DOES__ EXIST pre 1.4. There is strong evidence that PRIOR TO 1.3, ITEMS FROM RAGNAROS WERE IN THE GAME. They ALL HAVE A CERTAIN SPECIFIC ITEM ID, valuing around EARLY 17000s (1.2? = EARLY 17000s.) This is not hard. This is not at all hard to understand.

Ignoring the first 9 bosses and only looking at Ragnaros:
Cloak of the Shrouded Mists (17102)
Dragon's Blood Cape (17107)
Spinal Reaper (17104)
Bonereaver's Edge (17076) DROPPED IN THE WORLD FIRST RAGNAROS KILL
Malistar's Defender (17106) DROPPED IN THE WORLD FIRST RAGNAROS KILL
Band of Accuria (17063)
Eye of Sulfuras (17204 - the hammer has an ID of 17182)
can ANYONE PLEASE POST ANY SINGLE THING THAT WOULD PROVE THIS THEORY WRONG?
