Seems like some of you guys forgot to reward the man for his very nice find, other than just saying thanks. :/
Congrats on your find and thanks for sharing it!
+rep x 2
Thought it was funny seeing members from top guilds having cleared LFR over 20 time ^_^
well now we know why.
@ OP
If you're going to rep farm, don't rep farm using the good exploits. Everyone knows blizz uses these forums to find bugs and fix them. Thanks a lot.
KuRIoS is awesome!
Confirmed working, +rep to OP. Like one of the other posters mentioned, you'll want a full 25 man premade with at least one person that is eligible for loot. After boss is killed teleport out then in to loot boss (you only have to zone out if there are drops that you want). Blizz will have to address this issue as many of the top guilds are doing this for the 4 piece bonus. Its only a matter of time before this is rampantly exploited and we see trade gdkp lfr pugs.

Hot fixed? No longer working.
Has this been fixed?
Yes got fixed
found out about that when i looked on armory of some top guilds. And when i noticed that 70% of raiders have 4/4 tier 13 LFR set then started to look what its all about. Then i read topic on mmo-champ...
Blizz is aware of this exploit, who knows if they'll actually hand out infractions. Blue post here So, How will this be handeled? - Forums - World of Warcraft
This is how we got this to work last night while farming LFR over and over and over.
1) compile your raid group of "24" people. The 25th person is going to be called the "looter". (make sure its a guildy)
2) Clear LFR normaly and get your loot.. woo.. yay.. go us...
3) Kick your 25th person or your "looter" and have him log onto an alt and join the raid.
4) Go back into LFR normaly and clear the bosses again. If you get a piece of loot that you would like, make sure your ENTIRE raid group passes on the loot.. ALL OF IT!
5) Have your ENTIRE raid except the "looter" zone out of the instance
6) have your "looter" loot the mob
7) Zone back into the raid and have your "loot" trade you the desired piece of gear that dropped (if you already looted the boss, you are not eligable to recive loot from it again unless you do it this way)
The way this works is that LFR sees that EVERYONE in your raid passed on loot, so it just sitso n the corpse. Since you have your "looter" in your raid group and LFR sees that he has NOT recieved loot from that boss yet, it will allow him to loot it. Make sure he has looting rights. He then trades you the item. You now have gotten loot twice off the same boss.
Rinse, repeat.
NOTE: The "looter" needs to be switched out after EVERY run. Im sure alot of you have alts in your guilds that can sit out 1 run so you an quickly gear other characters in your guild.
We are going to attempt this again tonight to gear a couple healer alts we have in our guild to get ready for hard modes.
EDIT: Blizzard is now aware of this exploit. mulitple threads have been popping up on the forums about this. on a side note.. some one just posted on how to do this exploit exactly down to the teeth right on the front page of the general forums for all to see. this is now a known exploit. so use it while it lasts.

Not xploit, asked gm on russian servers.
So, probably this is only well used of game mechanics.
by bypassing a critical feature they added to prevent multiple loots from the same boss?
no.. this is an exploit.

Greetings Nilore,
As Fiskerdin so succinctly puts it, it’s never acceptable to ‘cheat’ or exploit within the game, and the number of players taking advantage of such a temporary situation has no bearing on whether such a practice can be considered ‘ok’ or not.
In short, we’re already well aware of the issue and once corrected there will undoubtedly be significant consideration taken into the best course of action – this is unlikely to be done at a customer support level, however, and as such I’m afraid we’re unable to provide any further elaboration.
so if you look at some of the Top Raid Guilds now all of their members got the T13 Parts removed and now have only 1 Kill of each Boss.
