[Edited/Confirmed] Get Darnassus Boss Achievment Without Raid Group!

[niguz]

Does not work.
Friend of me was at orgrimmar with me and we even attacked thrall, but only the raidgroup, that first attacked thrall became the achievement.

My theory is that this probably only worked for you because the raid group wasn't full. I'm guessing Blizz put a 40 person limit per Alliance/Horde Leader kill on who progresses on their achievement.

Cheers! I will just stand in Orgrimmar Thunderbluff Undercity and Silvermoon and wait for raids & achievement, FREE MOUNT!

This is for lame-o's only .. getting the mount by actually fighting is epic

As a PVP guild leader we run weekly world raids and I have some insightful comments on this --- we ran this with 2 full raids, to which we only ever go with 40 now. The reason being is we first hit IF, ONLY THE RAID THAT TAGGED the King in IF got credit for the kill -- so we waited for respawn and let 2nd raid kill him for credit. THen, we went to SW, and same thing, ONLY TAGGING group got credit. Same thing happened in Exodar as well. But, for whatever reason, in Darnassus BOTH raid groups got credit ---- Hopefully this gives some helpful insight.

Blizzard never really designed the servers to handle intense crowding and therefore blizzard discourages LARGE raids, which everyone thinks is lame of course, but it's more of a hardware issue. And yes, we have gotten together 200 man raids on the alliance more than once pre-wrath to which there was major lag and everyone cried lol But, keeping the raids at 40 takes away the lag to which I think Blizzard is happy with.

This has not always been like this. In patch 3.0.2 just before Wrath hit we got our bear mounts with 80 people, most in T6-T6.5 gear when we were all lvl 70 and everyone got credit for the kills. Somewhere down the road, not sure when, but blizzard chenged things.

I side with this guy's reason, I've done a couple raids on the alliance side, double 40 man raids, and only the tagging raid gets the credit. So most likely, it's just Darnassus for the Horde. This being said, it's still an exploit, just slightly limited.

[holmedog]

I call BS on the OP as he claims to have the mount at 60 and done it by this method, and then turns around and says he isn't sure if it works in other cities. That by itself should be proof enough that he is full of shit.

Interesting theory... and its definately a possibility

someone test that?
