I stumbled upon an exploit in the Challenge tier Rancor. It likely exists in regular rancor as well.
If you take a toon like Mon Mothma in alone in phase 2/3, then the door panel's TM will go up a tiny bit before she escapes from the battle.It could be used to ready the door panel for "free".
It should be noted that after the panel got full TM, it did not respawn. I do not know if it can be timed so you send in a real team just before that happens the door panel will respawn. I have not tried it and, will not, as that could be seen as taking advantage on an exploit.

I made the most boring video ever of my attempts if you are interested, but it is too big to upload. I added 2 images to illustrate it though.

    This is because those characters only escape at the start of a turn.

    But interesting to note that it could be exploited.

    Granted, I think how guilds are actually beating it is to coordinate posting damage so as to zero-out the phase.

    But it is working the way it is intended, right?
    I cannot see there is any bugs or anything, it's just an interaction no one though of in design. And using it is therefore not an exploit.

    If you're asking whether it's an exploit because you're afraid you'll be punished for using it, typically they haven't done it for things like this. They punish for things like getting illegal crystals.

    For raids, they will work very quickly to nerf mechanics if it's something they really don't want (including coming in on the weekend to prevent two Jawas from nearly soloing p2 of tank raid under a g4 Nute lead), but they've never taken away raid rewards AFAIK for taking advantage of unforeseen but technically WAI interactions. In some cases they have even outright said it's fine to use the cheese until the decision is made.

    I can't speak for CG, but my guess is you're probably safe if your guild uses this trick until they decide what they want to do about it.
