[3,317,154,131] Reset instance after Malachai's organs require fighting trio again

Bug report code: 3,317,154,131

Context: In the Act 4 quest "The Eternal Nightmare", the player kills three bosses; Maligaro, Doedre and Shavronne in order to get Malachai's organs. This is done to gain access to an area called "The Black Core". The end of the quest involves handing the organs over to Piety, and opening + entering the Black Core.

The bug: I left the area after giving Piety the organs, but before opening the Black Core. The area reset, and now the game forces me to kill them again, despite the fact that Piety has gone inside, and is waiting for me.

The screenshot: Taken after i killed Shavronne again, which was when i decided to file the report. Piety is normally standing on the open area directly to the right from where I am standing, but left after getting the organs.

Not a bug, the text message tells you as much as well. All three of malachais guardians in the instance have to be dead to enter the black core.

Background-Story/History-Lesson: Back in the days when we had to run "story" 3 times (pre-3.0 but after the invention of act 4 that is, it was 4 times before even :D), malachai was the "last" "story boss" at lvl 67-ish(?). Not having to kill the guardians would have meant you would have been able to farm malachai over and over from the waypoint by just resetting the instance, which would have been absolutely broken (and yes, farming story bosses on high level was a thing back then :D).

Considering farming Malachai would be ludicrous at this point and worse than maybe every other strategy in the game, I would hesitate to say it is not a bug.

Perhaps we could say it is merely utterly pointless and stupid mechanic from a different time that was never fixed.

But it really is just an overlooked bug. No other quest in the game works this way.

No other mechanic in the game works this way.

Its a bug.

It's not a bug because it's intended design.

It's Feedback and Suggestions to say that this restriction should be lifted.
