Blizzard announced an emergency hotfix - By: ameliewang

The victory was short-lived, though; Blizzard announced an emergency hotfix that would disable the siege damage caused by Saronite Bombs and Global Thermal Sapper Charges. It's one of the strangest bugs we've heard of recently (Lich King encounter spoilers ahead!), but the siege damage caused by these Engineering weapons was unintentionally reducing the difficulty of the fight.
"The siege damage of the bombs was causing the Frozen Throne platform to rebuild," Blizzard explained in the post, "which greatly decreases the difficulty of the encounter." If you're interested to learn more about the wow gold cheap mechanics of the Lich King battle (and the reason why "rebuilding" the Frozen Throne platform would have reduced its difficulty), check out Wowhead's Lich King encounter summary.
After the announcement, some players began to speculate that Ensidia used the exploit to score the world's first Lich King victory. Admittedly, most of the speculation probably came from community members who vehemently opposed the world of warcraft gold guild because of similar scenarios in the past. One of the most popular examples was the world-first "Alone in the Darkness"
A few hours after the developers announced the hotfix, Blizzard issued Ensidia a 72-hour ban and revoked its world-first achievement and raid loot. Ensidia confirmed the ban was issued for exploiting the siege mechanic bug, although its members say they weren't intentionally using the exploit at the time. Ensidia explained that the buy cheap wow gold group's Rogue, Naihiko, was using Saronite Bombs as part of his normal DPS rotation: "We're talking about an everyday normal DPS rotation item that the Naihiko has used on every boss in ICC," Nessaj wrote in the post. "How do one distingquish [sic] between what is causing a bug when it is related to an item you use all the time?"
Most Rogues with Engineering will agree; throwing bombs as part of your rotation is a common practice to add a little extra damage. But despite the provided WoL report screenshots Ensidia offers, the buy wow gold community generally agrees that it comes down to whether or not the guild actively utilized the exploit after learning about it (according to WoW.com, Ensidia member "Muqq" was aware of the bug before they earned the 25-man achievement).
