The only thing I lament about waking the Sleeper is that some members of Rampage weren't able to be there that night. It was a fun moment and our guild worked hard to get to that point.
Initially I was a bit ambivalent on how I felt about it, but looking back on it now, I don't feel any guilt and I don't think we really took much of anything from anyone. It's just a convenient outlet for people to channel their blind hate of guilds at the top end of the raid scene.
It's easy to resort to the "greedy" argument, but it's a weak one. How many people have honestly had something taken away from them by us waking the Sleeper when we did? If you want a primal, you can still get a primal. You can't get a shroud or a SoD or a gnome mask now, but how many people came to P99 with the sole purpose of getting one of those anyway? Again, if anything I feel sorry for the Rampage members who didn't get one of those items.
The other false idea that gets advanced is this notion that if we didn't wake him, then no one else would have by now, which is of course not true.
Over two years later and we still have a vocal minority that is upset over this for specious reasons, but I think the majority of people on P99 either don't care, or thought it was neat:

Gonna go out on a limb here and say.. Cringe.
You worked hard to get to that point? Any guild that can kill a single warder is capable of waking he Sleeper. Really no big feat here. Grats.
You guys certainly denied people of loot/content/fun. You dont think upcoming guilds like PS and AG would like a chance at some of those items? Certainly they've been working very hard to put together a sufficient force to enter ST and kill monsters. Why wouldn't they want a shot at some of the most sought after items of this era?
It's been openly admitted on the forums that the sole reason for wakening the sleeper was to deny a select few (or entire guild) under you at the time of said items. To try to make it seem like awakening the sleeper, on the only "classic" server worth a shit, was anything other a selfish, douchebag move, personal vendetta between a handful of people is complete BS.
One random person shouting "thanks for streaming it" does not reflect the mass of the server's opinion on the decision to wake him. Get off your high horse?
