That, however, completely ignores the social contexts that exist surrounding the choice by players to actually trigger it. Players motivated to trigger it to the detriment of their competition (spite) is widely considered to be a "dick move", and is a valid reason for the affected players to be upset.
Ignoring this is unnecessarily pedantic, and frankly, makes your argument appear disingenuous.
I don't intend on debating this with you, just answering your question. It's fine if you don't agree.

I appreciate the reply and the honesty! Thank you.
I respect your request not to debate, so I will simply reply to what you have said.
I don't understand how I am "unnecessarily fixated" on the fact that it was meant to be triggered, but the other side is not "unnecessarily fixated" on the idea that triggering the Sleeper is an evil, spiteful act. The amount of forum threads and posts angry at Seal Team seems to prove the latter, not the former. It isn't like the "good" people are acting "good" when they post.
Everybody knew Sleeper would probably be awakened on Green. The statistics show it, and Seal Team hasn't been denying it as far as I am aware. Just like Manastone, you only have a limited time to get Warder loot. I am sorry if you were unable to get Warder loot, but that isn't anyone's fault but yourself. And I don't say this to be mean. Limited time means only some people will get it.
The reality is P99 is a game designed around scarcity. If you don't like it, play literally any other modern game. I think it is a bit unfair for people to deny Seal Team their fun when they have no other game to go to for this kind of experience. Literally everybody else can go play a game that hands them loot to fit their busy schedule. Isn't it a bit selfish to try and change every game you play to fit your schedule, even if it is the last game of it's kind and you have literally every other game to choose from?
