Overview of the Incident
- A WoW guild known as RAoV Quality Assurance was banned after cheating to defeat Mythic Gallywix.
- The exploiters utilized boosted characters equipped with minimal gear, leading to doubts about their achievements.
- The legitimate competition for the Mythic Liberation of Undermine continues among top-rated guilds.
World of Warcraft has taken strict action against RAoV Quality Assurance, a guild that allegedly exploited loopholes to conquer Mythic Gallywix prematurely in the Liberation of Undermine raid. Despite the guild being removed from the records and their Hall of Fame entry retracted, remnants of their dubious achievements remain detectable.
Season 2 of World of Warcraft: The War Within officially kicked off on March 4, introducing the Liberation of Undermine raid across normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties. With this launch, the race for the world first in Mythic difficulty commenced, pitting top guilds against each other to triumph over all eight bosses before anyone else.
Blizzard’s Response to the Exploit
The situation caught Blizzard’s attention immediately. As detailed by WoW community manager Kaivax in a forum post, the guild members allegedly created new accounts and utilized internal spells to kill Gallywix instantly. After swift investigation, the guild was wiped from existence, the involved accounts were banned, and the Hall of Fame was updated to reflect the status of genuine competitors, although some records of their exploits still linger on the World of Warcraft database.
Interestingly, the name RAoV alludes to Random Acts of Violation, a name associated with notorious exploiters who were penalized by Blizzard in 2018. While there is no confirmed link between the current guild and its infamous predecessor, their choice of name may indicate homage. Additionally, one character bore the moniker Rextoilet, likely a nod to the renowned exploiter Rextroy, who has publicly denied any connection to the incident.
Hey guys, I heard some rumours about me being part of the mythic gallywix kill and I can confirm I AM NOT. Spent the evening editing a vid that should be out by tomorrow or friday sooo cheers guys! — Rextroy (@Rextroy3) March 5, 2025
Meanwhile, the legitimate race for Mythic Liberation of Undermine continues unabated. At the time of this writing, top guilds like Instant Dollars, Liquid, and Echo have all successfully cleared the initial bosses: Vexie, Geargrinders, and others, setting the stage for an exciting competition to determine which guild will achieve the first authentic clear and gain entry into the Hall of Fame.
