I see your points and they're valid, but maybe the game mechanics are already well too established? It's been what like two months or so? Imagine the player uproar, then again it still might be early. The majority of players might have already farmed whatever they wanted, so yeah it might not be that bad. What about those people still struggling since day one though? I'd be angry or annoyed to learn that one of those routes to get gear would go bye bye. Also, this exploit if it is even that, is not as bad as the loot cave, you still have to work to earn strange coins and gear regardless. I think it could go one of two ways, either anger the game community, God knows we don't need anymore of that or it will be a quick implementation that will go smoothly and that will be the end of it. Will it happen? I highly doubt it. Valid points though and sorry if I might offend you somehow, this wasn't my purpose, just my thoughts on the subject.
