If the DX station calls for a W4, then he should be persistent and keep
calling for the W4 until he works a W4. The pile up stations will soon
realize the the DX station is serious about working who he has called for and,
hopefully, cease their persistent calling.
However, if the DX stn first calls for a W4, and then goes back to a
non-W4, the pile up will realize that he is not serious about digging out the
W4, and the pile up will continue.

A disease for sure. Calling no matter what the DX sends is commonplace
during DXpeditions but now it's run wild in CQ WW. The DX comes back to W4
and I hear N9, K6, W5, etc., calling and calling. Why? How do we stop
this
stupid practice?
I don't name names, but there were a few stations who were perpetual
offenders this past weekend. Sure, we all make a mistake and call out of
turn, but doing it constantly is like a little kid who says me, me, me. Or
the woman who used pepper spray at a Wal-Mart to push her way to the front
of the line.
We all want the QSO. But causing the DX station to take more time to dig
out the call and make the QSO just slows everything down!
Let's have a discussion of this practice and reverse this trend!
