Maybe, but the best way to get it elevated to be fixed is to file a /bug report in game.
Thanks for the heads up on this one, though.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I did try that. I did /bug and filed multiple reports there. Is there a different way I should be doing it? I appreciate the feedback
From reading your initial post, you didn't indicate you had filed a /bug report, only that you had contacted the GM's. That is likely why Kheldarn suggested filing a /bug report. When you file a /bug report it goes to the QA team who then try to reproduce the bug on a consistent basis. If they can reproduce it, they send it on to the Dev team. Contacting GM's is most often done by the /petition command or by initiating a support ticket on the PlayNC site. Those support tickets and /petition entries go to the GM's. While the GM's in this game are generally pretty good, if it was different GM's they may not have noticed any type of pattern that would trigger them filing a Bug report of their own for QA. Even if the same GM was involved in more than one instance of this particular issue, they may not have connected the two incidents and filed a report for QA.
Once it gets to the Dev team it's not always a quick fix. Sometimes knowing that a bug exists and being able to replicate it 100% of the time is much different from being able to determine what is causing the problem and how to fix it without breaking 10 or so other systems.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
I have run the final Crown of Glory mission at least three times over the past six months. All three times, the mission has been bugged. When you kill Hector, Menelaus is supposed to attack and bring two other bosses with him. Menelaus isn't spawning making it impossible to complete the mission. Each time I have contacted a GM and had the mission completed for me. Since I have been in contact with the GM's, you'd think this bug would have been escalated to be fixed by now.
