        I don't mind the patch all that much - it is minor, and is a configurable option.

That's what I thought the behaviour should be. I don't like this patch as it confuses the issue and takes away one of the principles of treasure generation.  Many maps are set up so that if you use a lot of fireballs or whatever you get less treasure. This allows mapmakers to create more flexable rewards. If an item is supposed to be indestructable it should be set that way on a per item basis (is what materials are for), not with a global server setting.
