Most of us aren't actually "all of you," you know? There was only a small fraction of people who could farm high enough to reliably win tournaments for free, and as I've mentioned before, we seem to hit that situation with all the recent map releases, followed by a retweak of silver box rewards to fix the problem.

The "loophole" isn't baked into the game--it's something that happens because the developers don't do basic math or playtesting when introducing new content. The retool doesn't fix this inherent problem, it just kicks it so far down the road that the game will likely die before new maps power creep enough to break the game again.
