I feel curmudgeonly as I point this out, but that is not how 'fashion' is spelled. Anyway, it is an interesting use of the API. It's neat to see other players idea of fashion.

First kill is first kill IMO, 10 or 25, but you know if it happens on 10 the first 25 man will claim world first as well.

Alot of people keep talking about how DREAM Paragon cheated and how wrong it is.
I feel like going on the defense for them just for a minute. Think about it in their shoes, you are being sponsored, expected so much by the community, and are filled with a huge sense pride for your previous achievements.
The whole race turned out to be more of a game of "chicken" than an actual race.
If a guild used the exploit and didn't get caught, they would have a definite advantage over other guilds. The key point here is that there is a possibility of not being caught, and losing the race just because of that makes the whole race unfair overall, not very entertaining to me. We could just say "hey, everyone, let's not cheat because we are trying to play a fair game" but if there is the possibility, people will cheat, they are human.
Another scenario could be seen as if you were to race on public streets, it's fun yeah, but it's still more of a game of chicken because no one wants to get pulled over by the cops, so the people with guts may with over the people who play it safe and follow the law.
The reason most guilds are probably doing 10 mans now are probably doing so because either..
A) Some of their main raiders got banned
or
B) They don't want to join the race until other raiders get unbanned.
These are all opinions and speculations made by me, don't take any of this as fact. Just thought i'd share what I thought, what do you guys think?

Please put the weekly update back on itunes for the sound version! I miss it! I used to listen to it in addition to the wow insider show on the way to work. I truly love the video versions and its awesome to put a face to a voice, but now I don't have it to listen to on the way to work and back. :(

Real raiding is 40man not this 25/10man.
