The upcoming announcement

So, there has been alot of shenanigans this last week. Rumors of duping, gm favoritism, bugged loot tables aswell as broken bosses. I hope admins will give insight on all of this, aswell as explanation of what has been done to adress the situation and how it will be prevented in the future.
Some of the events that would be nice to have a clarification on;
Bugged chest has an extremely high chance of dropping Alcor's Sunrazor
Things like this has the potential to ruin the economy completely. It also gives an extreme advantage to those who choose to exploit it. Will there be any removal of these "duped" items?
Onyxia head & scale given to a guild despite it not supposed to be in the game.
No comment necessary, have these items been deleted yet?
The two bosses gating the content progression being completely broken on release, possibly pushing the release of DM & BWL ahead by weeks.
Will the items gained from these bosses be allowed to be kept? Is the countdown to the release of BWL in effect or will this be delayed until we actually get legit kills on correctly scripted bosses?
Several extremely rare items such as Rivendare's Deathcharger (0,1% droprate) and First Mate Hat (0,01%) has been found several times in just a few weeks since release.
Are loot tables bugged or this just an extreme coincidence?

Seeing how you know about the announcement should you not know that these items will indeed be removed & dealt with? I think it was in the same post, no?

The Onyxia head & scale was in the patch notes but I didn't see anything regarding Alcor's Sunrazor.

Staff haven't said they will remove the items and deal with the offenders. Honestly I'm waiting for a textbook response of "We've dealt with it but won't tell you anything at all, and the offenders will receive a warning". Meanwhile you look at the support forum and there are tons of people getting banned for being the fallout of these exploits, but the actual exploiters are untouched.
The economy is already gone on this server, check the AH today and you'll see what I mean. Not to mention with the exploits I think we've answered how some players got their epic mounts in less than 1 week. Will anything happen to those people, nope.

Was a post in a thread discussing it by a GM that said they were going to deal with it, remove the daggers etc etc

They can remove the daggers for example, but what about all the gold those people made selling them? How much does a BOE like that vendor for anyways?

These are the MOST important questions that the Nostalrius Staff NEED to clarify as soon as possible.

AFAIK there was a bug regarding lockboxes where you could open one and take all but 1 item from the box, bank it and relog and it would be filled again

That's probably because you get your information from 4chan.
