Blizzard GM Accused of Helping Players Complete a +23 Mythic+ Key

I rarely touch on Retail content, but this one is just too juicy…

A suspicious Warcraft Logs report has sparked allegations that a Blizzard Game Master used instant-kill abilities to help a group complete a +23 Nexus Point Xe’na Mythic+ key in World of Warcraft.

Reddit user Acrobatic_Pianist688 first highlighted the run in a post on the WoW subreddit. The linked combat log reportedly shows a sixth character using powerful instant-kill spells against dungeon enemies, including a boss and an additional mob needed to satisfy the enemy-forces requirement.

The group reportedly completed the Mythic+ dungeon with only seconds remaining.

The incident has generated additional discussion following a post from Yara that received an X Community Note. The note added context to claims surrounding the players involved and the alleged GM assistance.

Wowhead also covered the alleged Mythic+ cheating incident, reporting that the log’s timestamp and duration correspond with a completed +23 Nexus Point Xe’na run listed on Raider.IO.
