Tread carefully.
This is true, but unless it involves killing a raid boss in significantly easier fashion than normal, or majorly hurting other players, or some sort of duping, do they have a history of taking account action for things that are technically "exploits"? Like having Hex Shrunken Head not share a cooldown with other trinkets like Icon of the Silver Crescent was pretty obviously a bug, everyone who had both merrily used them, and I doubt anyone is in trouble over it.

Never mind that they retroactively declared that for the past three years we've all been exploiting FD to drop combat during boss fights, as it was apparently a bug fix and not a mechanic change when they removed that.

Of course, launching an instant aimed, auto and two multis in a 3v3 arena is probably easily classified as "majorly hurting other players".
