Let me make one final attempt.
If you believe it is a dick move to wake the Sleeper, then you must also believe it is a dick move for the Dev's to remove legacy items like Manastone from the drop table. In both cases, items are being removed at no gain to the party removing said items.
Think of Sleeper like a player-controlled legacy item removal, rather than a dev-controlled legacy item removal. There is literally no difference besides which party flips the switch.
Also, by keeping the Sleeper sleeping, you are denying people the essence lens quest for no gain. So even under your own logic, it doesn't make sense to call waking the Sleeper a "dick move". My Shaman doesn't want anything from the Warders. The Essence Lens quest is much more useful to my Shaman than anything Warders drop. So you are denying me the Essence Lens quest so you can get your Warder loot.
Now, there are obviously "dickish" ways to wake the Sleeper, like waking him just for fun, without even trying to fight him. I would agree that would be kind of a dick move, because there are plenty of people on this server who want to be part of the Sleeper fight.
