Like it doesn't need to give us the next tier of stuff yet, but how hard is it to just put an actual item.... I can't tell you how much fun I had soloing this game, and then finally beating the queen boss was the biggest letdown I've had, it basically dropped nothing, and was pointless to fight

Same thing happened when defeating Yagluth pre mistlands patch. As someone said its a place holder for now. Accept it and enjoy what you got or move on.
