Every time a new World of Warcraft expansion rolls around, eagle-eyed players uncover bugs and exploits that help land them in first place in the never-ending race to tackle Mythic raids as quickly as possible – and Midnight certainly offers no exception.
The Dreamrift, a brand-new one-boss raid (yes, just the one – unheard of for those of us used to Final Fantasy 14 and its million boss phase mechanics) from the first season of Midnight, is up – and that means folks were racing to be a part of the world’s first group to complete it.
Technically, that title went to a guild by the name of RAoV QA Strikes Back… although as PC Gamer writes, the team didn’t get to keep its spot in the Hall of Fame for very long.
This isn’t the first time the guild has pulled such a feat off, however – it’s a group that’s well known for abusing (or using, as some might argue) bugs and the like to finish on top.

Even though Blizzard evidently doesn’t approve of its methods, fans feel a bit differently about the guild and its shenanigans with raid exploits. A recent Reddit thread on its Dreamrift completion – and momentary stint on the Hall of Fame leaderboard – showcases as much.
As one person dubs the group’s members, “Absolute gamers.” Others argue that Blizzard should actually make a separate Hall of Fame for teams like RAoV QA Strikes Back.
“I wish Blizzard would make a hall of fame for the exploiters/bug abusers,” one such fan says in their reply. “It’s pretty cool that people discover something new like this every single season. It’ll give them the credit they deserve and keep Blizzard’s bug squashers humble at the same time, win/win.”
I mean, I guess they’re not wrong. Others just joke, “Seems Blizz wasn’t as excited as we were here.” No, I suppose it was most definitely not.
With all the excitement surrounding RAoV QA Strikes Back and its journey through The Dreamrift, I’d argue it could actually be fun to have a Hall of Fame for, erm, unofficial quality assurance testers (AKA fans who use exploits) – but I doubt it’d ever come to fruition.
World of Warcraft hit with FOMO complaints once again as Blizzard slams the doors shut on delve Hall of Fame after just 9 hours: “Huge day for the unemployed”
