I was online at lunch today when the first 85 on Deathwing server (some DK) was announced throughout the server. That was a quick 12 hours :P

Athene borderline exploited. Smasher was the first legit 85.

I think I read he was tagging mobs, people would kill them for him

So it's exploiting to work as a team? In order to be considered legit, you have to do it solo? I'm a tad confused with that logic.

If the team had been in a group with him and the xp split amongst all members then that is teamwork. The team being separate and the individual gaining xp based on the work of a separate team is powerleveling.

Apparently, only if there's a Realm First achievement for it. I suspect this one would still be free on most realms.

What do you do to convince others to help YOU get that realm/world first by doing the "mob tagging" thing? There's no freaking way I'd be in some group, going behind this guy killing his mobs so he can race his way to first? I mean, seriously, after a couple weeks of discussion on some game forums, who would care or remember that Smasher, Athene, or whoever got there first?

The people involved will care and will remember. A friend of mine still remembers when he was part of one of the teams that raced for level 99 in the original Diablo 2. That was 10 years ago.

Have you never decided to do something because YOU wanted to do it, even if nobody else cares?
