Light of Deldrimor timer doesn't stop if you dc

Had just entered the second plate room last night when my internet died. Was out for about 15 minutes and when I relogged I was surprised to see that there was only a couple minutes remaining on the Light of Deldrimor. It seems the timer had been running whilst I was offline.....what a waste :(

That appears to be intended.

I think they don't want people overfarming.Since there are other limits on how much you can get, that seems like overkill. On the other hand, we have figured out all sorts of tricks to extract more loot than intended (AB multiloot as the most noticeable example), so maybe overkill beats undermined.
