Jesus arent people just going to focus on the actual race now? It will actually be hilarious if STARS get world first Rag by like 2 hours and the like 400000000000000 forums trolls are like "NO F** THAT STARS EXPLOITED1!!!!1!"
I bolded the word that matters. If you don't think it matters, then you shouldn't have used it. Do we need another topic using real life criminal analogies to point out that taking advantage of a situation doesn't absolve you of the responsability of moral obligations? Yes, it's just a video game, doesn't mean it doesn't apply.
If people actualy wanted to compete for WORLD FIRST,
thes guild would wait till all servers had teh same content and they all start 2gether.. there is no tru in world first onthis game due to the difference in time and when which servers get patched first and last.. soo in the non of what happen realy counts as there is a disadvantage to all along the line.
soo till all servers gate same content at same SCREW WRLD FIRSTS!!!!!!
Pretty sure none of the top guilds are going for 10 man kills. Possibly next week after testing some things on alts.
Paragon could have just spell reflected Wrack and had Sinestra dead. They didn't because this was obviously not the intended method to kill bosses.
Paragon bringing Druids to Nef = Stars bringing Affliction warlocks to 0 light yogg.
I'm not sure how obvious it is for others, but having your guild collectively pay $750.00 just to access content a week sooner than everyone else does not seem like the intended method to kill bosses.
Second in my book, but congratulations anyway.
Stars performed well within acceptable parameters. The fault if there was any (and clearly Blizzard felt there was) lays squarely on Blizzard.
The Stars debacle essentially killed the ability for anyone to consider this boss a viable World First kill. Best to just ignore him.
You got it wrong - Stars got it first, not Vodka. Blizzard allows people to faction change to reset their raid lockout because they get money out of it. Its happened before and Blizzard isn't gonna change it any time soon.
US Guilds had a headstart on instances since forever. Nevertheless most world firsts are from eu so i dont think this one day disadvantage has a lot of impact on the actual race.
Please dont turn this into a us vs eu thread. Its already a "anti-paragon" and a "stars-case" thread.
Jeah and because they were fine with it they hotfixed the heroic modes so they didnt work for the week and stopped stars from getting further. NOT.
Something like this will never happen again. They will always wait for enabling the heroic mode till the 2nd week from now.

GRATZ Vodka, I'm tossing a back a screwdriver in celebration. And yes they have the world/us first kill IMHO. When you have a hotfix centered around you your gaming the system.
Not flying my Sig because somebody got butthurt because I posted a question that they didn't like in they're little pet post and sicked ScrapBot on me :P
not that i wanna start a us vs eu flamewar cuz i dont.but arent vodka from a us server?
kinda looks like us>eu this tier of raiding(i could be wrong)usually its the other way around
