I mean, to suggest that your premise is correct, you have to first claim that the player is going to spend hours of save scumming on each such encounter AND that getting such ideal loot really does imbalance the game AND that the person is going to be so frigging stupid to think that this is a game balance issue AND that the devs are going to accept some idiots claim of such without any mention of makeup.
And?
Oh, I'm sorry.. was that supposed to be your argument?
Not only that, but how in the hell is the developer going to be able to tell the difference between the guy that saved scumm like a moron for hours..
Yep. To them it's just feedback. I doubt anyone is going to tack on
"P.S. I frequently save-scum to get the best gear, so keep that in mind when factoring my feedback.." onto their posts.
That said, I'm not sure why you keep thinking that's the only downside to the current loot setup.
