@OminousGMan, I’ll link to a couple examples below. Overall, this is happening on all explore levels and happens every time, so should be easy for the devs to test and confirm.
I will add these examples to my original bug report as well.
Here’s comments from @igniteice doing explore 12 with 30-40 second fights and still having nerfed rewards.
Here’s another player, @Wow , who shared data from their guild doing explore 12. I don’t know how long these fights took, but as this is the maximum difficulty they shouldn’t be nerfed.
