"screwing the high leveled players", infinte loop?

Again, the error here is not that the boss flag isn't ticked, because if the fix were so simple they would have done an emergency patch the day after. The notice in game clearly indicates that they're trying to come up with a solution that will still give us all these other options (stun, doom, etc.) without the completely unfair game-breaking ones (Poison and web).

If this were true, I can't believe how long it's taking them to figure out that all they need to do is cap damage over time damage. I'm sure it wouldn't take more than several hours, if not minutes, to code that in.
