Well, it really was a thing. Instead of being dangerous to use where castermobs were being mezzed, those roots were also very unreliable against mobs that were relatively magic resistant (including basically every mob >= the caster's level.) So, when the moving target dot damage nerf went in druids got extra whiny because their roots sucked. Verant, of course, insisted that everything was "working as intended" for months and months until somebody competent actually looked at the code.
It was important for CSR workload that as few bugs were confirmed as possible, as guides only needed to gmrez players who died to confirmed bugs or zoning into lava.

Consider how many years taunt was broken to whites and up (except at level 60), or that bash stun did not create hate similar to spell stun (this was what was intended but never acknowledged as broken until Dragons of Norrath) then almost every death in a group due to tank losing aggro could have got a GM rez if these bugs had been ‘confirmed’ before they got addressed
