Hey guys,
So recently the developers released an anagram hinting at the contents of Module 3.
Are you interested in getting hints about future content with anagrams and puzzles?
Let us know.

Lay it out so I can think about it for a while.

However, I personally found the follow-up from the last puzzle distasteful.
Spelling mistakes happen, particularly when dealing with fantasy fiction full of invented names and terms. Just admit when a mistake is made; don't bother with a feeble attempt to pretend it was intentional. Perhaps this follow-up was intended as a joke, but tone can be difficult to interpret and sincerity is worth more.
It appears that I "won" by being first to post the broken answer, but in the end, it felt alienating.

Pretty much, what rhoric said.
And there's nothing wrong with this.
So, little teasers and puzzles like the one OP is referring to: meaningless more or less. A waste of time? I don't think so - except for the fact that even though the answer was found, there STILL is no official response from Cryptic stating "THIS IS THE ANSWER" and perhaps congratulating the person who found it first. Which just goes to show: they don't really care, other than to engage the players to placate them.
And there's nothing wrong with this.
Though this puzzle was seriously flawed in that it required deep knowledge of the lore, so the very chance of getting it right were pretty slim odds. To me, the "fairness" ratio in that range of existing Neverwinter players is rather slanted, and steeply so. Looking up lore is fine and good, but when you don't know what you don't know, looking things up is a moot subject. But I digress.
I find Dungeons that are hack and slash only to be boring.

Let's assume future puzzles won't have such a major error when voting, though.
Let's not make them so "creative" that it takes a scholar an entire day to figure it out.
And if we're talking about "in game," just a "teaser" with multiple choice answers like the "artifact" quest ending.

An ARG, yes.
In other words, a thought-out presentation, nothing worse than having letters missing "for the sake of the puzzle working"
that's beyond aggravating, especially to those that DO enjoy puzzles, that's like, what's a 5 letter word for disappoint? :angry. but it's not angry, even though angry works, we meant miffed (its 6, i know, but it worked better saying it had 5 letters, tee hee)
