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.
