Pinnacle Boss Loot Lost if Player Dies After Defeating It

This kind of terrible design is what drives players away.

Why would you allow multiple attempts for pinnacle bosses, only to strip away all loot (except book points) if the player dies after defeating the boss? It makes no sense.

Either give the player another shot at defeating it or don't remove the loot.

Needed to vent, ruined my evening and will to play.

Totally agree, we're not taking about after death effects either, which people will just say get gud

Regardless, this mechanic is not very desirable
