Turn 5 Downed by JP Group? Exploits or Legit?

Congrats Avid, Coffee Break, and to that mix up of JP players. You guys bested Twintania before everyone else!

Clearly shows he has cleared Turn 5.

You get the achievement when you exploit the kill, same as if you did it the right way. Considering his post on "progressing" yes their guild exploited it and now it's on the armory site for all to see.

It's pretty amazing that square did nothing about the exploit itself and considering they're letting more groups do it they actually seem to allow it, what awesome endgame we have where an exploit has to be used to get a kill.

It doesn't have to be used. But this exploit effects all monsters in the game, not just Twintania (probably why they are taking so long) Either way, I expect punishment will befall those who have abused the system.

Considering until someone posts a stream link with the whole kill, it's impossible to verify who actually got world first considering this exploit.

Sorry, it is just how it has to happen. Posting Screenshots of her while she's at different phases doesn't make it legit/true/verified.

I fully understand that most Endgame FCs would not share their streamed kill because it's essentially giving away strategies, but if we want someone to really get the world first title, it has to happen that way.

Avid officer here. We did not in any way kill Twintania. Was a bug that allowed us to explore the zone. Check our profiles, we do not have the kill achievement "The Binds that tie 1".

We did not kill the boss, we are not claiming anything. We apologize for any confusion that this may have caused.

The JP FC that has been said to down it does not have it either.

Their lodestone hasn't been updated, he still doesn't have the mapping achievement.

WTF do you mean the tank has very low health? 5.85k on a paladin means full DL + 2-3 pieces of BC gear (depending on which ones) + relic+1.

That's GOOD.

Now, if the pally only had, say, 5k health, we could talk.

My PLD tank with four pieces of ilvl 90 gear (Curtana + 1, allagan shield, earrings and ring of fending) + full darklight has 6,085 HP with food and party buffs.

That PLD tank in the screenshot has a little less than that to be sitting at 5.8k. At least one or two pieces of Amdapor Keep gear.
