Back in BC haste was a fairly new stat/concept to begin considering so nobody really stacked it enough (or had the gear to experiment with it).
A bug is a something that is not meant to be in the game. To exploit something is to take advantage of it. According to Blizzard rules, it is acceptable to exploit intended game mechanics, but unacceptable to exploit known bugs.
Therefore something can be considered a bug and be exploitable.

As opposed to dadyblasblas jargon
Mages can also do shenanigans like this if they have mind quickening gem and ice veins + lust or drums
U mad bro? 
no wonder you hunters are topping the charts. ur cheezin big time 
no it isn’t lol. exploit implies you’re doing something wrong, i.e. using a known bug to your advantage.
This is how it was back in 2007. No ond was smart/good enough to optimize hunter play like this. NO CHANGES!!
As a hunter, this needs to be looked into. I haven’t seen a 2021 video of this and I haven’t seen it in game. At this point I’m not sure if it is even possible on this client, does anyone know?

88 autoshots
20 sec fight
That’s one shot every 0.227 sec. It is definitely happening.

The video and logs posted are literally a couple of days old, of course its possible on this client.
Did it exist in the original TBC? Maybe, maybe not; hunters back then were using the 1 button macro so maybe thats one of the reasons it never got discovered/gained traction back then. The thing is it does exist now, its a broken mechanic people are taking advantage of and it should be fixed.
Lol these forums are a joke
I think this a bug like warrior oh hitting because HS is queued during the swing. It was present in OG TBC, and was left in, so just like how wars had free DPS from a “bug” that became a feature, id expect them to leave thing the same for hunters.
No one was too buttmad that they never patched that out of classic, even with war dps in classic being crazy. Hunters are already one of the best DPS of this xpac, most people wont even notice it, just like most people prob dont know war dps is so high in classic because of a bug.
I’m pretty sure heroic strike queuing only amounted to a few percent dps increase and was unreliable/difficult enough that people were suggesting to not even bother doing it unless you wanted to go REALLY hard on parsing.
This hunter bug is in an entirely different realm than HS queuing.
The current speculation is that the GCD cap isn’t working at high haste levels. Mages can also do this with MQG + Veins + Lust + Drums + Haste to spit out 20 arcane explosions per second.
That would be interesting to see.
This was gonna be my response.
Mages are already doing this.
Making an auto shot macro isn’t really an exploit.
Having mass haste isn’t really an exploit.
What are you exploiting to move the shaman around groups? Exploit in video game terms means you’re taking a problem with the game ( a bug) and EXPLOITING it to your benefit. You’re being silly
This dude is clueless about what an exploit actually is.
