All raiding guilds want Dains and ring wars. Some guilds don't want buggy Dains. That point is perfectly germane to the conversation.

Just because I think the war isn't worth trying again until the 3rd wave is check-able doesn't mean I want to prevent others from trying it.

I agree that players should resolve issues - absent GM intervention or not.

What I take issue with here is that I don't think that players getting together to determine the most convenient, workable (least laggy) way to kill a target that spawns because of a recognized bug falls into that category. This isn't an issue that players need to resolve. This one is on the staff. A single sentence: it's okay to kill that buggy Dain and you're welcome to figure out something workable.

I bother posting because we're interested in Dain. I bother posting because I want to point out, loudly, that I don't think that this issue is one for the players to determine. We've been given our orders: don't kill buggy shit.

I bother posting because I want the staff to stand behind what they've asked us to do - or ask us to do something that requires no intervention from them at all. I bother posting because I think that this is a larger issue than a buggy Dain. I don't like the caprice of the Sword of Damocles set up by this situation for some - and I don't like the opportunity cost that the other side incurs.
