There are also a boatload of other things which are much, much, much more important to fix than this.
Yep. Especially when the premise for changing it is that some people will load over and over until they get ideal loot, apparently "imbalance" combat resulting in players returning to the forums to complain about the game being too easy resulting in the developers chasing an imaginary balance issue.
I mean... yeah... uhh... riiiight.
I would say this "problem" rates somewhere on the to do list as, number... never.
This was already covered:

The problem is nobody comes on here saying "I'd prefer time was spent on something else, but I also admit I don't know how long it would take or who and what would be involved in changing this, so take that opinion with a grain of salt..". Instead, the thread gets flooded with responses akin to "this is a non-issue that only matters to you", which is neither helpful nor constructive. That's the difference (and generally where the arguments start). I, for example, see threads popping up daily which touch on issues that aren't personally important to me, but (unlike some) I don't make a point of trying to run them into the ground.
