There are similar mechanics in the necropolis to resummon the lich and collect loot although it was 30 minutes and per character (if I remember correctly. In the case of Reim there was an an abusable mechanic to resummon that was allowed to exist to allow everyone who attempted the quest multiple opportunities to win in this case, or at least that was the intent. Retser was aware of this and communicated this to the players testing reim at the time. I think it remained this way to allow all players to be able to finish the bosses even if they were defeated in the throne room and it was not widely abused. Now it has to be addressed and reim will be loot capped. The juxtaposition on how this was handled is evident in these examples. In hindsight monitoring of this event could have alleviated this result entirely. It could keep the mechanic the way it was to allow players to finish reim and prevent it from being exploited to this degree. Waiting this long and after that much silver has been farmed sends mixed messages.
I find it disingenuous at best to think they didn't realize or notice this was going on much earlier than we are lead to believe. They didn't notice one account pulling that much silver, psh...doubt it. I also don't believe he was the only exploiting it either IF they really didnt notice.
“One of the hardest things about giving up any kind of prejudice is being honest with yourself. It’s not easy to say, ‘For nineteen years I’ve been living and believing a certain way and I’m beginning to wonder if what I believed is right.’ Then you go a little further and start admitting, ‘No, I KNOW what I believed is not right. I have no right to feel that way.” - Charlie Daniels
