Is it so important? I think this made the community and game world more interesting. It's emergent behavior. As a game developer, I hope I can make things complicated enough to have emergent behavior, even if that's just from my bugs.

From what I've read, it introduced quirkiness and a bunch of unintentional community involvement, with likely much hilarity. The goal of playing a game is to have fun. Dealing with frustration can also be fun, in fact the Dark Souls series recognized this brilliantly. This bug, while undoubtedly frustrating, sounds like it was also a lot of fun for a lot of folks.
