[Wotlk] Mob tagging is back and will ruin WotLK Launch

Hello, recently a youtuber leaked a video about how to exploit mob tagging to achieve absurd amounts of experience on the WotLK Beta.

Heres how it works:

2 players enter a dungeon. The character doing the boosting(B) is the leader of the group.
The leveling character (A) leaves the party and grabs a bunch of mobs in the dungeon and tags them. This character will receive the message ‘You are not in this instance’s group…teleporting to graveyard in 60 seconds’

Booster (B) can be a healer, or a dps, to ensure A has an easy and quick time soloing mobs in a way that would not be achievable on their own. They proceed to nuke the mobs, or heal A until everything is dead.

Anytime character A has 10 seconds left on the teleport, he will be invited back to the group and the message will disappear. He is then free to leave the group again.
Every mob that dies while he is outside the group will grant FULL experience as if he was not in a party.

This completely destroys the spirit of the realm first 80 achievements. This is blatant cheating, and if i remember correctly back in the day Athene was banned for doing this and the ability to do so was removed. However it is now back. I’m all for tanks and mages doing dungeons by themselves and getting the xp they earned. That part is fine.

What is not fine is using 2 characters to blast through a dungeon and get experience as if it was only 1 person doing it.

Please fix this before wrath launches.
