No need to put out a patch on something that really doesn't effect gameplay. It gives no true advantage to anyone. And only allows a very easy Boss to be bypassed by a very difficult method. (go ahead and try it a few times... it takes more skill to learn the glitch bypass then to learn how to fight Seath.)

Also, Microsoft stopped charging for patches early 2013. So an early game patch might have been expensive but later would not have cost likely much of anything. And even back when they were charging, first patches were not normally charged. Though again... why patch an exploit that really doesn't hurt the game and is difficult to achieve?

As for this being considered an optional boss? Far from it.
