A really nasty exploit is causing problems in World of Warcraft. Remix characters have “escaped” – Blizzard had to intervene immediately.
In Legion Remix, everything is a bit wilder than in traditional World of Warcraft. The characters are more powerful, have extremely strong abilities, and can handle raids on their own. Therefore, a Remix character cannot be used in modern WoW, but must be converted first. However, Blizzard has now halted this conversion – because there was a really strong exploit. Remix characters were able to participate in current content and handle it alone.

How does the exploit work? The answer is: shockingly simple. With a little trick, it was possible to use the characters from Remix in “Retail” as well. One only had to proceed as follows, as described by player siming85 in the WoW subreddit:
- Own 2 WoW accounts.
- Both create a Legion Remix character.
- The characters invite each other into a group.
- One of them logs out and converts their character.
- Now you have a Retail character that is in a group with a Remix character.
This Retail character can now form groups as usual, for raids or dungeons. With the help of a Warlock portal, it was possible to summon the Remix character as well – who then easily completed a raid on mythic difficulty alone. Like against the current final boss Dimensius:
Is that allowed? No. Exploiting such a flaw is a clear violation of the rules and is usually harshly punished by Blizzard. In the past, not only the exploiters themselves but also involved characters – such as all those who were in the raid group – were punished for such incidents. This will likely be the case again this time.
Is it still possible now? No. Blizzard has temporarily disabled the conversion of a timewalker character into a normal character. Until the error is fixed, it is therefore not possible to convert a Remix character anymore. Therefore, it is practically impossible to replicate and exploit this exploit.
Besides exploits, there is also something else in the Manaforges – a nice hidden mount that you can easily obtain.
