I did it at level 59 as horde.
Steps:
Don't forget to strip naked! (To avoid unnecessary repair costs, you perv...)
Run towards Ragged John
Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect and continue running
Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect, continue running and arrive at Ragged John
Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect and try taking the quest as quickly as you can
Get killed by level 85 guard
Try again, now even faster!
Get killed by level 85 guard
Use a quest accept macro ... Success!
Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect as far away from Ragged John as possible (40 yards)
Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect again (80 yards)Congratulations, you got away successfully. Now go turn in the quest in LBRS, realize it was just a breadcrumb, and bang your head against the wall.
Then do some research on Wowhead, find three similar quests, one of which is available to horde: A Potential Ally
Bang head against wall harder.I might have exaggerated the number of deaths you have to endure, but it was for the comical effect.
Macro:
/click GossipTitleButton1
/click QuestFrameAcceptButtontl;dr Resurrect on top of quest giver, use macro or addon (e.g.: Carbonite) to accept quest before dying. Or do A Potential Ally instead.
