The agent worked around Cloudflare access blocks by pivoting to web search, assembling a comprehensive answer from third-party comparison articles and search snippets. The site itself proved largely inaccessible for direct fetches, forcing heavy reliance on external sources and prior knowledge to construct a credible explanation of Warcraft Logs' purpose, pricing, and competitive position.

• ›Steps [4], [5], [13] were search result pages whose snippets and linked articles provided the core information: what Warcraft Logs does (combat analysis), who uses it (raiders/guilds), pricing tiers (free + $2/$5/$X premium), and how it compares to alternatives (rankings focus vs. rotation analysis vs. coaching). The wowcoach.gg comparison article (step [14]) was explicitly cited and contained the clearest vendor positioning.
• ›The agent could not access warcraftlogs.com itself—all direct fetches returned Cloudflare 403 errors (steps [0], [1], [2], [6], [9]). Pricing specifics (e.g., Platinum tier cost) and detailed feature matrices remained inaccessible; the agent honestly acknowledged these gaps in its final response.
• ›The site's information architecture is poorly exposed to agent-based discovery: pricing pages, subscription details, and help articles all blocked by Cloudflare. The agent had to construct its answer from search engine snippets, competitor comparison blogs, and prior knowledge of WoW culture—not from Warcraft Logs' own published content. This is a high-friction discovery + identity layer failure.
