I was bound in fear and would check every single day by solo'ing enough mobs to run an Eye of Zomm over to the spawn for *over a month*.

In constant contact with a GM, their staff finally found out that the spawn was indeed broken, and after I begged him to pop the mob so I could get a group to kill it - he simply handed me the oil and said "I think a month is long enough".

(I'm not making this up. It's how I got my epic)
Yes, I recall when this happened. On my server at one point GM would just give anyone who had the piece to hand in to the golem and zoned into fear the oil.

There are a couple of other things that made me wonder about the wizard hate. Skyfire evac point for instance. At one point in PoP I even hear they considered giving Strike of Solsek a percentage chance to backfire and cause 300 damage to the caster.
