"World First" 80 - EU Warlock

You can find an interview with the world's first level 80 here.

Nymh, a Warlock on EU-Drek'thar reached level 80 yesterday, as what anyone can tell is the first in the world.  This was done by using an AoE grinding strategy, but from the sounds of it I will not be shocked at all if this strategy is nerfed very soon.  It involves locations with fast respawning, neutral NPCs, as you can see in the quote below.

"The biggest problem was to find a spot with enough monsters to grind without too much downtime ... I spent some time on beta servers and eventually found the crypt in Drakil'ji Ruins (Grizzly Hills), I think that's one of the only place in Wrath of the Lich King where monsters repop in about 30 seconds, mobs here are also neutral and it makes grinding a little safer," Nymh said.

Beyond that, there is also the 6-7 hour headstart EU players received.  Personally, I feel /played time should be the factor amongst the first level 80s, rather than who did it "first" simply due to time differences and a staggered release.  So what are your thoughts?  Is this the first truly legitimate level 80 in the world?
