So strategies formed around exploits have become acceptable? Really?

Res-debuff is supposed to teach you to...avoid things, play right, and not DIE.

I'm not taking sides on the issue (I'm still looking for a party for turn 1!), but I have to call you out on this: you may be right, you may be wrong, but too many people bring fire and brimstone to the forums concerning what things are "supposed" to do. I'm sorry, unless you were actually on the dev team, or you have a direct line to YoshiP and asked him yourself, you simply don't know what things are "supposed" to do until they make an official statement on it. I may be wrong, but I don't remember hearing any official explanation of the resurrection sickness aside from that it simply is.

When a bug is so huge and people are relying on it to clear content...

Just a comment to further this: if people have to rely on the bug to clear the content, the content shouldn't be in release. SE went retard mode releasing Coil before Crystal Tower, it's as simple as that.
