i'd say quite the opposite for me, they were game enhancing.

-Giving him the drops of a normal (white) monster doesn't solve the problem of disappointment (and he would still drop nothing quite often).

So it comes to the point of this conversation:

GGG: We added a new boss to make this more difficult.
Players: Oh, more loot for this dull run back to Act 1.
GGG: Yeah, about that... There is no loot in this.
Players to each other: Ignore that cosmetic unique, rush as you would do and ignore one more monster, it is only there to cause some more desync and block you.
GGG: No, kill it, please. We put so much effort into creating it.
Players: Yeah much effort, no loot....

That's how it is , right now it is only there to annoy people and have you make sure that you have 0 exp in cruel and merciless, after doing fellshrine for 5 hours, when doing the quests to finish the Act. Bad idea in my opinion, really bad. If the reward is a skill point, then remove Alyra, Kraityn and Oak loot as well as Fairgraves, Dweller of the Deep, Piety (which by the way is two points, so make it even suck the loot out of you) and remove it from the stashes as well, because it is not that good anyways. What the hell, GGG? Can someone explain to me the development process of this?

Or make the two area one single instance, like the last two level of the merveil lair. This way you can't reset instance by passing through the portal between those zones.

my original post there

Hah, all your gear with which you kill Piety + inventory gets destroyed after she dies...sounds fair for 2 skill points. Might add you have to kill her solo with no teleports to spice it up (no xploits yo).

Anyway, a lot of people play ARPGs for loot (I think), lotsa loot on the ground, loot from bosses, loot from farming, loot from crafting etc. So mobs with guaranteed 0% drop rate in a game that one would think centers around loot (besides your character)...yeah, gtfo.
