So with Gallywix now exploit killed twice, can we start tuning our tin foil hats towards Blizzard (not)employing a for real quality assurance team in the form of these guys?
They’re not credited with any other kills in mythic, which means they’ve likely been placed at Gallywix to legitimately test the boss?
This isn’t a knock. Thank you Blizz, if this is really the case, for actually making sure your raid is working properly.
That is some quality copium you’ve got there.
But yeah, they should probably fire their 1 QA guy and hire these exploiters instead.
They did have a QA team at one point … Then MS bought them and basically fired 2/3 of staff in CS and QA because they claimed their own staff would fill those roles but never did anything to that end. Blizzard isn’t the problem it’s MS for cutting Blizz’s staff and not filling the gaps.
CHATGPT has a plugin for that!
The question is, how are they getting pulls on Gallywix? No other boss kills are being credited to them, and as far as we know, no other exploits are being performed on other bosses. These guys may legit be the QA team. Are we seeing them kill the boss legit with exclusive testing privileges?
exploits
Yes, surely they would test on the live servers during the height of RWF.
oh, and ban their own QA team…
In past RWF, there’s been bugs they’ve made it to live that somehow got missed. Testing on live servers IS the best way to discover/ensure the real player experience isn’t tainted with some game breaker bugs.
Allegedly, yet here they are back “exploiting” the boss again. Completely missing how they dusted the entire rest of the raid to get to this point… again.
Let’s not ignore the obvious nods in the guild name either.
I’ll say it again, kudos to Blizz if this is what’s happening here.
id buy a game made by these guys
I guess you missed that Blizz actually commented officially on the first ‘kill’, huh?
Would be weird to describe the events in this way if it was something that they were doing themselves. Sounds more like a group of very public exploiters to me. And I don’t think they’re doing it for any reason other than to troll people, including Blizzard.
Masking unpaid beta testers (but for real this time, rather than farming RWF teams in real time competition).
It was actually bobby who fired over 800 QA people saying we dont need these guys back in BFA and the game has gone downhill since.
Bobby was always a POS who favored driving up content speed while cutting staff just to keep the shareholders and board happy and get himself those hefty bonuses. But MS made things infinitely worse as we constantly see massive bugs make it to live because there is basically no QA now. They basically treat the live servers and players as testers.
wrong. QA was fired before MS got their hands on actiblizz, you can thank bobby, who quite fittingly looks like gallywix, for that.
There was still some sembelance of QA taking place even after Bobby fired those 800 people. Now there is almost no form of QA taking place due to MS not filling those gaps that did also get fired when they took over. CS and QA were basically destroyed by MS. So yes Bobby fired a lot of QA but not all , MS basically removed the remainder when they took control.
Firing too many QA/CS is every company every day.
Last product/release sold well? Time to lay off CS/QA, turns out we don’t need 'em to turn a profit!
Last product/release did poorly? Time to lay off CS/QA, can’t afford to keep paying them now!
What was the bug that was exploited this time? It blows my mind that something’s happened twice. I wonder what else is buggy.
It’s common with not only just blizzard but many gaming companies in modern time to rely on beta, early access etc to test the product. I think it’s safe to say, that doesn’t work.
Let’s just assume like old fashion blizzard, it’s working as intended 
Every RWF contest had an exploiter claim the victory. This is no different. Congrats quality assurance.
what tinfoil hat? we know blizzard fired their QA team before TWW. Like there is literally no conspiracy to be had.
I dont know about all that, but I QA mining and herbing for them for free.
