WARNING: This is Only a Test!

WARNING: This is Only a Test! is a quest for level 50-60, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

Where some see a problem, I see an opportunity. What this Scourge fiasco calls for is a creative solution!

Behold--my "secret weapon"!

Controlled by none other than my Carefully Constructed Control Device, or C.C.C.D. for short!

Hmm, that name might need a little work.

You're the first to see it, so that means you'll be the first to test it. But don't worry, I'm pretty sure it's safe.

Good luck!

Wtf even is this quest. 5% per ghoul kill, and do it all in a vehicle where you basically only spam 1 until they die 10-15 seconds later. Also hope you get to the ghouls before the opposite faction does, so you're fighting over spawns. Did anyone even play test this? What an awful, tedious quest. Am I missing something?

Don't forget you can right-click to auto-attack, in addition to your special attacks.

Quest is a bit vague.
TL;DR!
Right-click the hat, then right-click the ghoul in shackles - which is right next to the hat.
Button 1 (Infectious Bite) - Your Ghoul's basic attack. Stacks.
Button 2 (Contagion) - Releases a plague cloud to nearby enemies.
Button 3 (On the Hunt) - Speed boost.
Button 4 (Devour Flesh) - Does damage and heals your Ghoul.
