This achievement, when Ulduar was first launched, was largely considered to be mathematically impossible. One or two nerfs to Yogg-Saron more or less proved that to be true. The recent nerf to the spawnrate of the Guardians of Yogg-Saron wasn't aimed at the encounter with 4 Keepers up. It was aimed at the encounter with few (or zero) Keepers up. Without the buffs those Keepers provide, the encounter gets more and more difficult. As someone who has only killed Yogg-Saron with all 4 Keepers in the last few weeks, I fear seeing the fight with zero. Major, major props to Exodus.
They were rewarded for their efforts with

Ewe catering for the Casuals, Blah blah, rant rant.
Grats to Exo, about time the US got a first :P
At least the luck Raider now can get head everywhere he/she goes all in a 3 sec cast, except indoors...

Sweet a US guild got a world first :D
Kikr Jun 26th 2009 12:42AM
Well, at least now we know where the head comes from.
Grats folks :)

Hopefully this should stop the Ensidia vs Method whining. Major gratz to Exodus.
Docp Jun 26th 2009 6:36AM
Not to diminish their success but the question is "was Ensidia or Method even trying to do this" I'm just saying if most people thought it was impossible then there's a solid chance they weren't trying, so whilst doing this is still a huge achievement, no question of that, this doesn't prove that this group is better than Ensidia, unless they were all trying for the achievement.
Fjandinn Jun 26th 2009 9:44AM
Every topguild would have eben working on this. Until very recently, it was the only thing in Ulduar not downed. Ensidia's and Method's fanboys and troll alts have been arguing their chosen guilds superiority for weeks, and now a relatively unknown guild sweeps past and does "the impossible". I doubt the other top guilds would have just been farming 1-keeper and Algalon.
Gnosh Jun 26th 2009 9:43AM
So wait, Exodus's kill is less impressive because other guilds pussed out and weren't even trying?
Fjandinn Jun 26th 2009 9:49AM
Hell no! Exodus' kill, if anything, is more impressive, as they haven't been in the spotlight constantly like Ensidia and Method. The other guilds have almost certainly been TRYING the fight, it's not like they've just been hanging around on Krasus' Landing on their Ironbound drakes.

I wonder if the head is a 100% drop or if they just got REALLY LUCKY.
Falcom Jun 26th 2009 1:38AM
Probably 100%. Seems like an apropriate reward
