Leveling bug: Should it be removed?

And now, while they are not playing anymore and only working a bit in the background for GK talking about it, instead of acting and report it as a bug.

You seem to be forgetting a few key points:

1) These are mudlib issues. Stefan has to fix them.
2) We "Admins of the past" brought the old incarnations of this bug up before. That is, when people with drastically different overall levels did the same thing, they received outrageously high amounts of experience. This was perceived as a bug, so the party level limit was put into place to counter this. Unfortunately, it wasn't considered at the time that people could have very similar overall levels but drastically different skill levels and thus could continue to abuse the bug that way.
3) a) I haven't had a chance to speak with Stefan since reading this thread.
3) b) I hadn't learned of the existence of this incarnation of the bug until reading this thread.
3) c) I can't fix it myself.

Yet, somehow you are blaming us "Admins of the past" for not discovering / dealing with this problem earlier. That doesn't make sense. How about working on helping fixing the problem (helping contact Stefan) instead of affixing the blame?
