There was nothing fishy about or 17 man Naggy kill. Cohort and Draum didn't give themselves uber gear or anything. Overall, their role in the kill was very small. Knowing what we know now, I'm sure all of us wish we could go back and not bother with those two, but we can't. We had ongoing, and rather dramatic, discussions about how the guild could/should/will handle the situation, and could never come to an agreement. Some people suggested was that no matter what we did, certain people would never shut up anyways, so why cater to them? Others suggested willingly giving up loot and titles, and have Naggy respawned for a non-tainted "first" kill. Time went by and we never really came to a conclusion, Naggy respawned, and we killed him again just fine, in fact, it was easier this time. And don't even try to attribute it to mage pets or zerging.
At the end of the day though, there were 15 legit players there, a solid strategy, and an excellent execution (also: Naggy isn't hard, resist gear isn't necessary, lrn2heal, lrn2hide). If you were farming lower guk all day in a full group, got yourself an SMR, a Yak, an FBSS, or whatever else you're after, then find out one of your group members cheated somehow to level/gear up his character that had nothing at all to do with the current group, would you be so willing to give up the rewards of the time and effort you put into that group? I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to.
By the way, I've also suggested to the guild that we willingly bank our planar gear until the corresponding plane is opened, but at this point I don't think the complainers will ever be satisfied, so why bother?
