Yeah, probably was, given if it was a bug I'd expect the forums to be
in uproar from other groups encountering it. I'm just confused how it
was done, since the entire raid was watching carefully after the first
couple of times - only time we saw anyone possible to blame was the
mage on Megaera, but tbh I don't think he went any close than anyone
else did, and he wasn't close on any of the other wipes. If it's
griefing, there's a new exploit out there I guess, to achieve so many
wipes without anyone catching sight of who did it :-/

I still like it, probably because most of it is new to me; thankfully
I haven't met many of the eitists lately (I was so glad there were
none in tonight's group; a wipefest is bearable when people sound
friendly and interested in a solution, rather than sarcastic sniping
all over the place, which just makes me see red frankly; I'd have left
after 2-3 wipes if it'd gone that way rather than putting up with it
for probably about 10!

Hehe, it's slightly improved but usually on content I'm not doing any
more! Would love a boost to Secrets of the Empire droprate; I don't
need anything earlier than the final LFR but I do need those secrets
for the legendary chain... 7/20 atm, the last one took about 8
attempts to get, and I've had another 5 tries since it dropped...
