Evidence of what appears to be a long-running history of exploitive behavior has been uncovered after a series of +30 keys with suspiciously high death counts and impossibly fast boss kills appeared on Raider.io!
Using what are most likely anima powers taken out of Torghast, the group of exploiting players managed to complete several +30 keys, including Murozond's Rise, Waycrest Manor, Atal'Dazar, Darkheart Thicket, and Galakrond's Fall. Despite attempting to hide their characters, community resources identified the suspicious runs, as well as identifying information contained within.
At this point in time, this does not appear to be a widespread exploit, though it is not a particularly new one either.
During Shadowlands, these anima powers could be taken out of Torghast using Warlock pets, following a very specific set of steps involving cross faction groups and well-timed ALT+F4, allowing them to deal obscene amounts of damage that easily trivialized Mythic+ and raid content.

Now that's a legendary Felguard.
Unscrupulous players similarly exploited raid boss kills as recently as the Aberrus race to world first, managing Cutting Edge achievements on the same day Liquid and Echo achieved world first and second respectively. Renamed and transferred to avoid detection, many players who try this are quickly caught and banned… though a few remain active even today, achievement timestamps fully intact.
They don't know I solod world second Sark...
Although the exact methods used today differ, they too appear related to Torghast anima powers, as evidenced by one of the offending players — an account less than a month old, yet already achieving +30 key completions in every single dungeon — with entry-level Torghast achievements earned the very
