Yes and no, they just knew that people spawned Crucible instances... if they didn't have who spawned it and how long it was spawned they could have had a clue.
Just that it was a popular quest for some reason. It really depends on what the metric is :
- Quest Spawn
- Quest Spawn and spawn length
- Quest spawn, Spawn length, unspawn reason
- Quest spawn, Spawn length, unspawn reason, Spawning Account
- Quest spawn, Spawn length, unspawn reason, Spawning Account, Party Leader
....

The first one just give them how many time in a day ( since it's obvious such log is timestamped ) a given instance is created.
the last one can give them a clear view that something is going on ( Reason = Reset, Account and Leader repeated many times in a row... with a very short spawn length )

I think all forms of Knockdown immunity are busted.  The Enlightened Spirit level 18 core?  Busted.  (Can get overrun by giants and tripped by Air Eles.)  Kip Up from Thief-Acrobat?  Busted.  (Air Eles again.)

Ravager's seems to work. Ran around with it from 13-28, don't remember being knocked down in that time.

that will last five seconds before the "OMGEEISSOEZ" crowd bitch about how hard it is to solo on a FILLINTHEBLANK and it gets nerfed.

And it is possible that with the extensive size and length of the quest, Turbine accepted that proper or popular use of the content could not measured or gauged by finishes.

Turbine seeing what they felt was acceptable level of active use through instance numbers, would explain why they were never alarmed by the many complaints about LFMs. They may have also known from the beginning that ToEE would become primarily solo content.

That said, I hope they don't follow the same pattern going forward.

The claim does seem to be en vogue recently doesn't it? 

Tell me, is there an established schedule used on the vault to let the users know when it is time to stop calling everyone Gay and Retarded and instead begin accusing them of being sock puppets?  

I ask because I'm fairly new and I do like to make a effort to fit in. Perhaps it's in the monthly newsletter? Could I get on the mailing list?

I'm Tarrant and so's my wife.

Cool so when someone tells you to go F yourself you can and have a good time doing it!

What was the heroic stuff you felt you needed? seems like a awful lot of grinding for gear that will be obsoleted by Greensteel in just a few levels.
