Update:
As of 12:30AM CST / 7:30AM Paris time [right?], Athene hasn't received the "Realm First!" achievement. --Armory Link --
Apparently he transferred to that realm less than 60 days ago.

Not immediately. Players are ineligible for realm first achievements if they have transferred and been on the realm for less than 60 days.
If these achievements remain incomplete for this 60 day period, the newly transferred characters will become eligible.

So a full group killing the mobs when he tags them? Was that not how the guy in WotLK was banned last time, running a raid for mob tagging? or some such?

Yes, but it was in an instance. The tank was dropping group and tagging while the other 4 helped kill the groups so that
the tank would get all the XP as if he was soloing the instance... Blizzard didn't like that.
EDIT: People are saying because he transferred to that realm less than 60 days ago he won't receive a Realm First
achievement. Armory link in OP.

Another player, Smasher, is apparently questing as fast as he can:
He currently has about 75% left until 85, he's only a few hours behind Athene, so 80-85 should really be a breeze. And
this guy will probably get the legit achievement.

So doesn't this sort of mean that instance grinding is a great way to level?
If he did it in 6 hour, that means if he had a full group it would be 30 hours to do the same thing?

I dont like this guy, snotty french guy "best paladin in the world, ... with 0 PvP-skill". Its much more enjoyable to follow smashers progress through questing instead of gaining exp through exploiting.

He cheated last time when he was instance griding (well it wasn't clear it was cheating untill the GM's said it was).
If he did tag boosting this time well thats what I do every day.
Probably a bit less then 30 hours for 5 as you get group bonus.
Does Europe servers come up before ours, then we don't have a chanch to get relms first, its 4 am or so here, I could only have 4 hours in by now.
No one will care about the relm stuffs, if he posts he was first and can prove it well ......

There are always black sheeps in the herd. I think we should not be get bothered by their presence and keep it fair till the end.

I visited Athene's website. A least the site that comes up when you Google him.
I was hoping to see some vids and blogs on his path to 85. Instead I was treated to some hardcore e-peen that made me LOL. No 85 vids but it was worth a visit anyways.
