The only reason why people try to differentiate Sleeper from Manastone is because it is player controlled, so for some reason they think that implies the players who awaken Sleeper are doing it out of spite. If you assume this, then you are also assuming the Dev's are spiting you by removing Manastone. You can't hold one opinion without the other.

No, the devs removed the manastone because it's an imbalanced item that they realized shouldn't drop anymore.

If you're actually trying to argue that ST didn't wake the Sleeper out of spite then I really don't know how your brain works. It's not a coincidence that right when a rival guild starts being able to compete for warders ST suddenly pulls the trigger and wakes the Sleeper. It was quite obviously a spite move so just stop.

It's not spite, it's playing the game. It is a one time event, so of course if you want to do it first you have to beat the other guilds. If you claim this is spite, then literally every raid mob spawn is killed out of spite. That is nonsensical. This is a non instanced game, where the players who get the mob first get the kill. Killing Sleeper first is no different from racing to KT and getting him before the other guilds. It isn't spite, it is competition.

It doesn't matter why Manastone was removed, because it is now just an annual timed event on all emulated Everquest servers. Same with Sleeper. It isn't like we are going through the Everquest timeline for the first time. Everybody knows exactly what is going to happen.

I've never heard of one good reason to wake sleeper except to cock block enemies. I don't see how being on a list of bad guys who have damaged a server permanently is a good thing to do.

But I guess it's some kind of bragging right and when you're strangehold is getting hard to maintain why not go ahead and have that final dunk (if you're selfish and stuff)

But maybe I just don't understand.

It's a game mechanic and a once in a server experience. That is a lot of fun for some people. Again you can't say killing Sleeper is "Cock Blocking", because content is blocked either way. You get SoD and Fungi Robe, or you get Essence Lens. Somebody is losing out no matter what.
