And they're supposed to know this is an exploit? They are using something in the game to give them self a buff. Blizz should not have left that ability in there.

Yep, that's an exploit. Still blizzard's fault for leaving that one in there.

Actually, Ensidia said a few times they didn't realize it was a bug. They thought it was part of the fight. Blizz's fault for leaving it in aagain.

In the above three cases, the guild admitted to building their winning strategy around these glitches.

Only two of these were glitches, and only one was acknowledged by the guild as knowingly cheating. It's moot, they all got the shaft for finding mistakes lazy Blizzard programmers left.

Yes. We should give them credit for managing to do something right and the way it is supposed to be done every time. That way it may encourage them to try and do it more regularly? =\.
