It has been fixed and everything is working as intended. The Wowhead article is confusing because Porom used it to rage at the devs and basically went on a rant.
I really don’t understand this feud that all the content creators seem to be engaged in with the devs over these obscure gimmicks that they love to use and that apparently the devs are now cracking down on. It’s kinda exhausting to watch what’s essentially a 
contest unhold, tbh.
