    During TBC when the Zombie Invasion event hit, the one prior to release of WotLK. For about 8 hours (in the evening) if you swapped your ranged weapon when in zombie mode you reset ALL your health. We created a raid and made a huge zombie army of players and AI to raid the enemy cities. Even though there were cleansers who could 1 shot zombies, we massed so many zombies we could zerg him. We also used this tactic to get Black War Bear (kill all enemy leaders) achievement just after it released. Do note, city guards and leader were already upgraded to their WotLK level at this point. Our lvl 70 zombie army, with infinite health, just zerged the lvl 83 elite NPCs. This was hotfixed the same night.

    One of the ones I did was with the Bug Trio. When they allowed them to be tamed initially in Wrath, they had no death animation. Which was absolutely insane, and I wanted to test the limits of it. So I rushed my hunter to 80, tamed a bug, and went into Ruby Sanctum to test the limits of this. I had the bug pull all the mobs up until the first boss, stationed it away from me, and just had it kill all the mobs. Which. Worked. Then, one final test was solo’ing the first boss at level (the split one), and it took a long time. The boss enraged and the bug just kept on trucking. I defeated the first boss. Quietly hearthed and never told anyone of this.

    I was proudly part of 2 exploit raids in my early wow days, both server first kills. -At 75%, Emeriss, one of the four dragons of nightmares, cast a shadow debuff that did 20% of a player's health every 2 seconds for 10 seconds. If you used an "ultra-flash shadow reflector", you could reflect that debuff to him, and kill him in seconds. -Initially, Azuregos did not give a debuff when you died. The debuff prevented you from attacking him for 10 minutes(?). A good old graveyard zerg got us the kill.

    When you mentioned that hunter pet glitch with the blue bug, I remembered what was probably the best ever glitch in WoW. It wasn't widely known because it only occurred for a day or so in just a few servers and only inside Warsong Gulch if I remember correctly. If you unequipped any piece of gear, and then equipped it again, the item's stats would keep adding up and up on you every time you repeated that process. In effect, if you did that many times you would turn into an elite, immortal killing machine with the health of a raid boss and capable of one shotting anyone with any damaging ability. It only worked for PvP and, of course, people who exploited it got punished.

    There was also an exploit in TBC, the Shade of Aran encounter in Karazhan. You basically just had everyone stay on the bridge outside the room, while a hunter misdirect pulls boss to your tank, or the tank can use a ranged attack/taunt to pull boss, the door closes during the encounter, and then he runs through the door where you fight him on the bridge and avoid the majority of his AoE damage.

    These are ones I did. Some of these are widely known though. 1) TBC: Permanent tranquility. Because tranquility was a channel BUFF (and that buff healed) that said "heals all targets around you by x amount" what you'd do is get in a duel with a raid member, have them either push/fear you into the instance. But RIGHT before they did it you hit tranquility. You time it right, you entered Sunwell with a permanent tranquility. You could also use all your other spells, just couldn't use Tranquility or it'd remove the buff. This one was posted all over the forums and they shortly removed it. Luckily, our guild got to use it to beat sunwell and gear a lot of characters. 2) TBC: Holy smite priest. Holy smite priests were the best of the best in terms of burst damage. However, they were so mana inefficient you couldn't do this in a raid. What could you do? Well, I forget the ability's name, but paladins had this seal that increased holy damage taken by 155. The thing? This buff stacked. All your prot and ret paladins could push their seals on it and buff holy damage taken by 155 x [number of paladins]. But... those paladins had only a fraction of their damage as holy. Enter the holy smite priest who could make short work of ANY boss with this raid set up in TBC, sunwell included. To the best of my knowledge, they never fixed that during TBC, they only removed the stacking seal in Wotlk. 3)TBC: Melee hunters. There was a trinket that's now updated as of Cataclysm: Hurricane. Anyhow, so the trick worked like this. 1) Get the hurricane trinket (said chance on MELEE hit to deal weapon x X% damage). 2) Get a druid staff (druid staffs at the time said like 300 weapon damage even when a similar IL equivalent spear or warrior weapon said 120) 3) Spam wingclip. Yep. Constant melee attacks with a two hander made that hurricane trinket proc like a truck and OFTEN. Like, I did this with a warrior and then made a summation with a paladin: The warrior would proc the trinket with an inferior weapon damage every 12-15 seconds. The melee hunter would proc it every 4-6 seconds. Add in pet damage and trap damage, I remember one pug SSC someone saying "Kick the noob melee hunter" "Dude, noob melee hunter's doing 3x everyone else's damage". 4)TBC: Hunter tanking. This isn't a great one, but it worked for a few things. Now, namely, think of the melee hunter build... hunters had talents in bm and surv to increase their health by iirc 35%, and a few armor and damage reduction talents. You could also get a lot of Defense rating on rings/neck/trinkets too. Now, this worked great for heroic dungeons as only paladins could AoE tank, and so could hunters (2x readiness and explosive trap). Now, I don't know why, but explosive trap held a lot of threat whenever the snare effect from the talent went off so I never had problems with threat on tanking, or doing the AoE tanking on the big giant dude who summons murlocs (I'd put an explosive on one end, and then once that popped to get the other side's aggro, I'd throw a new one near me for the other side of murlocs). Now, there's another thing to say about this... you get enough defense rating, for some reason you pop deterrance (25% dodge/parry)? Something went wrong with the calculations and instead of being high dodge and high parry chance, I guess cause it read as 100% immunity so instead you LITERALLY became just as immune as a paladin with bubble... and you could hold threat while doing that deterrance x 2 (readiness) so you had a long time of literal invulnerability. 4) Continued. Why this was great otherwise though... Hydross: The damage was considered magic, but you could DODGE it. Hunters had high dodge, and high health, so no armor? No problem! Hunter tanks took the damage the best and holding threat was NOT an issue. And of course, hunter invulnerability. Teron Gorefiend: The Shadow of death ability, if you got it on the melee hunter with enough defense rating, you popped readiness right before it expired and for some reason you wouldn't die, and teron wouldn't use the ability again, making the 'speed dps check' part of the fight absolete. Don't know why this didn't happen when pally bubble was used, the pally would be alive, but he'd still use it on other members, but on the hunter he just didn't use it again. 5) WOTLK: Eyes of the best tanking. Most people know this one already, but it could be advantageous. Certain fights where the boss can be dragged near the door to a room that'd close off. You get a turtle pet (the one from Black fathom deeps had a really high armor rating compared to other turtle pets before they homogenized them) and then use eyes of the beast. Then when the boss is pulled, you could use that pet to tank. It did decent damage, was immune to a lot of crowd control effects and had GREAT defense in turtle shell (could use crocolisk or gorilla for AoE damage if defensive wasn't the issue). The reason this worked so well? You could let the turtle die, then rez it with the hunter who's standing right outside the door, eyes of the beast that pet right back into the fight and tank again. The fights this worked on were very rare and it was complicated so a lot of people didn't want to bother when just using a real tank instead of the hunter was almost just as good with less work for the few fights it worked on. 6) WOTLK: Dreamstate druid. Most people know this one too, but the only reason I consider this an exploit is because of how damn effective it was at tank healing. You just do mostly balance tree for the healing touch + int to mana regen + int to spellpower and all you had to do was spam regrowth/healing touch on tank and the crits for living seed would keep any tank alive without effort. What this ALSO did was make the fight in ICC where you have to heal the one dragon up ridiculously fast (as the living seeds would be popped instantly to be reapplied with the next heal) even back during the time people were still having a hard time with her. It's not a gamebreaking thing like a lot of your list or the permanent tranquility one, but I felt like mentioning it.

    Having done the Dragon Soul one, your description is a bit incorrect, or, at least, harder way to do it. What you could simply do is to queue LFR Dragon Soul as a full premade group, having at least 1 person not saved to it. In that setup you could change the loot to Master Loot, then give the ML to the unsaved player, allowing him/her distribute the loot to anyone in the raid (even the people saved) That approach ended up banning only people that were the Master Looters and everyone but Master Looters kept the gear they obtained.

    I dont know how popular it was, but when ulduar first came out for a few weeks there was a bug on the second boss - Deconstructor. There were 4 trash piles around the room that would spawn adds that could heal the boss. but if you tanked him right on top of one of the trash piles, that pile would not spawn any adds, giving your ranged dps more than enough time to kill the adds coming from the other 3 piles. This helped my guild out a whole lot.

    For #4, you were actually supposed to pull Son of Hakkar which was a wind serpent from below his platform, and have the raid stand on it while it died close to when Hakkar did blood funnel. The poison was AoE and lasted 1 minute, so when everyone got it, it would damage him instead of heal him. It was completely intended to be able to complete the encounter, although entirely possible to ignore it if you had a very strong raid.

    You forgot Garalon in Mop. The boss starts the fight with an ability that gives the person closest to the boss at the start a debuff that deals damage to the entire raid. It's based on area... BUT, if you get a character that's fast enough (we used an engineer with one of their abilities that boosted speed), you can get them far enough away (the area where we fought the first boss is where we got) that the debuff is rendered useless. Basically, with this, you can almost do the entire fight with one healer... which is good because Garalon had ALOT of HP.

    Technically, it wasn't an exploit of game mechanics. If you use the game against itself, it should be considered a game exploit. People weren't meant to unleash the debuff, but they did. It resulted as being more of a trollish event instead of a break in game code, or anything that might actually help the players. They still fixed it as if it was bug. It's more like a bug than exploit.

    Oh boy there's some things to say on this one: 9. Rag one seemed entirely intentional. The placement is far more loquacious than mobs from another area of an instance prior to another boss, *especially considering the FR buff helps with most of Molten Core in general.* Also, since you mentioned the Pollinate buff to exploit Hodir, I'm legitimately surprised you didn't go over the Valkyrion Aspirant Metanoia exploit, which pretty much broke every encounter until it was fixed (roughly 2 months after Wrath's release). The buff lasted longer and was capable of causing Mages to output insane damage. 4. Iirc poisoning the Blood Funnel thing was intended and was how the boss was supposed to be done (there's a reason those snakes near Hakkar respawned very fast). 3. Lol Nihilum on Lady Vashj. 2. Oh god I remember this crap. Big news back then - thankfully my guild didn't bother with this. 1. Wow this seems really failfish on Blizzard's part. Shouldn't there still be collision programmed in on the server side or something to prevent this? I guess that's just classic mid-2000s game design logic, I dunno. Also, a number of the popular exploits seem to be one-time things tbh (except Corrupted Blood, maybe). Thus that in itself can cause it to not meet the "most exploited" classification - no real need to justify not listing them further than that.

    The Tiger boss in ZG could be exploited by having the raid stack on the large tree trunk and a Huntard pulling the three adds then feigning death, making them despawn. Bloodlord in ZG could be exploited by a Huntard pulling the add and jumping on a ledge to make it perma-evade.

    There was a branch on the lower part of the World Tree that had the same function; when the raid was thrown into the air you would bump your head on an upper branch only an inch above. Very few people ever died; only if you were unlucky feared down the branch or were a keyboard turner that died to every ledge boss.

    How about during the Legion pre-launch, during the Azeroth invasion event. The phased area you went to for the Broken Shore initial attack scenario had a few buffs you could grab, notably a buff that gave you Holy damage on all of your attacks. You could get the buff on even level 1 toons. The holy damage was flat damage, not scaling, so say it did 100k holy damage. You could then take your low-level character into one of the invasions, where the demons spawning had health that scaled with player level. You were able to one-shot EVERY enemy, including the boss of each invasion, with this buff. I leveled 3 or 4 characters to 100 with this. Though, I didn't see anyone else do it, so I'm not sure how well-known this exploit was.

    About halfway through mists of pandaria there was an easy to exploit glitch that required you to be a level 80-85 hunter. If you joined a battleground you would scale upwards to 89 like everyone else in this tier but if you left the instance while dead or lagged on exit there was a very solid chance that your pet would stay level 89 but would scale weirdly. It was fun to duel people in goldshire as a level 80 and watch my pet crit them for over 200k with kill command. You could power level a hunter through cata/mop by just chain one shotting everything with beast cleave and kill command. The glitch lasted until you died, your pet died, or your pet respawned (such as dismiss pet).

    I think you're mistaken with #1, they actually edited the mpq files and deleted the section of the floor that was there (at least from what I recall hearing about it) and this is a common practice on mid-low pop private servers as a lot don't have an active anti-cheat that checks the world files and using a simple program like noggit will alow you to do what happened at AQ 40 but literally anywhere

    The use of poison at Hakkar's life drain wasn't an exploit but an intended feature of the encounter. Otherwise Hakkar would have healed himself so much that you could hardly kill him unless your team was significantly overgeared. Those Sons of Hakkar which emitted a poison cloud when they died had a very low respawn time and not without a reason.

    You missed the DI (Vanila Divine Intervention for paladin) exploit on razorgore where if during the orb of dominance the raid started the fight naked, DI'ed razorgore and wiped to the kiting trash. The trash would de-spawn as the encounter was considered over but DIed targets are suspened in a non active stasis leaving razor gore able to be aggroed when the buff expired in 2 minutes. The raid would quickly rez with soul stones on 2 or 3 healers, re-equip their gear and eat + drink before the fight started. This essentially skipped all of the hard kiting mechanics and make razorgore a tank and spank. We did this on Backdraft on Dark Iron every week for months (maybe 6 or so) after we beat him the original way but our hunter left the guild after accepting a new job with conflicting time scheduling and we needed a way to work on nef without recruiting /training a new kiting hunter.

    I feel like you should have mentioned the Majordomo/Rag exploits. Originally Majordomo wouldn't drop loot, he acted as a sort of Phase 1 to Rag in an entirely separate encounter. Majordomo spawning wasnt bound to if your raid had killed Rag though, and he would always respawn if you just zoned out for 30 minutes and let the instance reset. Majordomo could also, always summon Rag, who would always drop loot. The first guilds that killed Rag got to kill him 5-6 times a night for weeks. Also In the same instance resets worked a little wonky and you could "cascade" instances during the reset night, there was a window on reset day where you could zone into another guilds instance and clear the bosses they didn't kill a second time in the same week and still reset to a fresh id. This meant that you could kill some of the bosses (generally the harder ones) twice a week in Molten Core for quite a while. Guilds would make arrangements to carry a few players from the worse guild offering up the ID for some of the loot they wouldnt have otherwise gotten.

    Sorry for the necro response but just wanted to add that I believe my guild at the time (The Twelve Prophets) was the only guild actually banned for cascading, we would have alts log out each day in the raids so we'd just use the alts raid timer on the final day of its reset. We cleared Onyxia and Molten Core every day for weeks before Blizzard caught on. I wrote a more detailed story about this as a response to the video, just saw this now unfortunately.
