Yes, you will also notice that GZ informed Baelish of caster's Realm that if
indeed a bug was allowing the new necro mez to give a full stun occasionally
it would be fixed immediately! They have no intention of allowing any
beneficial bug to exist any longer than it takes them to fix it, but
obviously bugs which cause our songs to seem to be successful but have no
effect will go unfixed until we figure out some way to exploit them to our
benefit. Am I missing something here? Apparently Verant has the
misconception that the Mobs in their program are the customers.

Yes that's Brad's standard excuse. However, even if we grant this, we
still have to ask when the programmer that's working on the other zone
warping bugs, and the zone bounceback bug between qhills and w karana is
going to finally finish his fix. After all, both these bugs have been
there and reported since beta. Maybe they could assign those bugs to the
programmer who is so diligent and fast at fixing those bugs that
actually are slightly convenient to players instead of the bugs that
completely disconvenience and annoy players.
