I think the main point that has the most relevance to me, and I would believe the vast majority of the server, is that once he is awoken, primal weapon drops slow to a trickle. A trickle that will likely be monopolized by the same people who woke him to begin with. If there was ever a definition of a dick move, this is it, in big bold red ten-foot high neon letters. Popping him, and attempting to take him down, could be a truely awesome event, and something that would make a great trophy for the case of the uber elites - as long as the horrendous downside could be corrected after the fact. Maybe make him fightable - but zone resets 24 hours later, and the guilds that awoke him are banned from ST for a couple weeks to prevent a repeat.
Awakening him, and screwing the server over forevermore, should (rightfully) destroy the guild/people involve in doing it. I would give zero tolerance, banning all accounts involved in it, forever. Permanently disbanding all guilds who had a member present.
I think all of this could be fixed with a few judicious lines of code - either do no allow the sleeper to be awoken at all, or, make the warders still spawn anyway, after the general nastiness has concluded. Not classic, but allows some guild the chance at mutual pixel masturbation and bragging rights, and at same time doesn't screw over the other 98% of the server.
