Exodus scores world first Heroic: Alone in the Darkness
News is flooding in that Exodus of Ysondre-US has just scored the world first 25-man Yogg-Saron with 0 Keepers, a.k.a. Heroic: Alone in the Darkness. A quick look at their site proves it to be true, complete with screenshots.
This achievement, when Ulduar was first launched, was largely considered to be mathematically impossible. One or two nerfs to Yogg-Saron more or less proved that to be true. The recent nerf to the spawnrate of the Guardians of Yogg-Saron wasn't aimed at the encounter with 4 Keepers up. It was aimed at the encounter with few (or zero) Keepers up. Without the buffs those Keepers provide, the encounter gets more and more difficult. As someone who has only killed Yogg-Saron with all 4 Keepers in the last few weeks, I fear seeing the fight with zero. Major, major props to Exodus.

Refreshing to see that this website hasn't been infested with Ensidia vs. Exodus and Europe vs USA- comments like over at MMOChampion.
Gratz to Exodus nevertheless

They pretty obviously exploited it, as Ensidia did later on with Hodir. The unfair part is Exodus got banned, while Ensidia didn't. Also, Ensidia actually points out that Exodus used a exploit, wile they did the same. Also, from what they wright, they are proper ass****s. They think they are so cool, and can pwn any european cuz "They lack sportsmanship". More like we lack morons. In my opinion, Ensidia should get no rewards and be suspended for 72 hours, instead of Exodus. Exodus should keep the rewards and not get the 72 hour ban, but should get a achievement made for them called "Worlds First EXPLOIT", which grants the title reward "The Exploiter", instead of the achievement "Alone in the Darkness".
