"Loads of people"? Seriously, I doubt that "Loads of people" are going to quit with a week setback. If they keep everything aside from exp/levels the same (all Yellonde chars would just be back at level 1 with all of their current items so nicks won't be changed or w/e), I really doubt people are going to quit over it.
The only kind of "proof" that I found as far as it being any sort of "glitch" is that TiaraYellonde(GM) smega'd saying that those abusing a glitch to get the top ranks wouldn't go unpunished. I can't see ANY feasible thing except to rollback the exp.
IMO, they never said a boss monster CAN'T be affected by things like poison, shadow web, etc. It is their game, and they CAN edit what counts as a "boss".
Personally, knock the exp to either 250k or 500k, remove Shadow Web and other effects, and leave Poison Mist and Doom. That way FPs finally have a boss to hunt after not having one, the exp would be mediocre(killing 8 with reduction would be same as 1 now), and everyone would be...less...ticked?
I guess they could just rollback FPs/Hermits, but I don't think that sounds completely fair. :/
