I had no idea about the bug, but someone in general linked a recount from LFR of somebody doing 130k DPS and asked how that was possible. I thought it was just a bugged combat log or something. Lol.
Me neither, but I just heard that an alliance guild on my realm got Realm First DW by exploiting this bug. They even have the video of it on their site...
Here's hoping they get banned.
I understand Blizz won't ban every single Paladin, but getting a realm first because you exploited a bug is kinda bannable in my opinion.
OP's post made me lol so hard.
Just woooooooooow.
This and and the days of reckoning bombs will be forever remembered
Here's hoping the guilds that abused this to down heroic content get a ban and their achievements removed though.

There was a bug introduced with the hotfix that caused Seal's to glitch, doing insane damage. The bug lasted anywhere from 20-minutes to a few hours, depending on your location, before Blizz fixed it. However, for that breif time Ret Paladin were doing 200k dps in LFR, and one-shotting entire groups of people with Divine Storm in BG's.
EDIT:
An exploit is when you knowingly abuse a bug or otherwise unintended game mechanic in your favor. I hope that everyone who abused this to gain loot and acheivements receive bans and a lose of what ever they got.

There are varying degrees of this. Sometimes what seems like an exploit gets the "clever use of game mechanics" response. First example that pops to mind is the way Invisibility used to grant immunity on effect. This was used by many to cheese things like Smouldering Devastation.
Dont worry Im sure wol wont be plagued by ret paladins at the top for very long. Hope the WoL mods get to deleting all these failadins fast.

Wouldn't a ret paladin instantly overaggro the tank and die anyway? Yes bubble once, and then?
Ah I wish I had logged on my Pally just to have some fun in BGs, not try to cheese anything but run around pretending I'm like Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors and decimating anyone and everyone.
