Bump, waiting for dev reply.

Nilbog has already responded:

Just waiting on the next patch to roll around

Would love a dev reply newer than 2 months old on the current situation.
Would this even require a server/database restart for a 1 mob/1 zone loot table change?

Seems ridiculous to release the revamp that makes epics "easier" only to have it make the Mage epic completely impossible for months.

I'm not even a Mage player and think this is a bit absurd.

It requires an update to the database on the server side that determines what loot drops from each mob.

That requires a patch, which requires Rogean (on his own time) to set aside some amount of time to make it happen. As soon as that patch happens this will be fixed.
