Based on the announced target of Level 8 for a straight playthrough for a single PC, DM rewards would look like (at a guess):
4-1: 500 XP, 25 DT, 250 GP, First Timer, Wanderer of the Mists
4-2: 150 XP, 5 DT, 75 GP
4-3: 150 XP, 5 DT, 75 GP
4-4: 300 XP 10 DT, 150 GP
4-5: 225 XP, 5 DT, 112.5 GP
4-6: 425 XP, 10 DT, 212.5 GP, Local Hero
4-7: 875 XP, 10 DT, 437.5 GP, Dedicated DM
4-8: 450 XP, 5 DT, 225 GP
4-9: 500 XP, 5 DT, 250 GP
4-10: 1000 XP, 10 DT, 500 GP
4-11: 1000 XP, 10 DT, 500 GP
4-12: 625 XP, 5 DT, 312.5 GP
4-13: 625 XP, 5 DT, 312.5 GP
4-14: 1250 XP, 10 DT, 625 GP, Dedicated DM, Hero of the Land, Agent of the Tarokka
Total Standard Rewards: 8075 XP, 120 DT, 4037.5
Total Quest Rewards: Potion of Healing, Uncommon Oil or Potion, Uncommon Spell Scroll or Potion, Rare Scroll or Potion, 1 Tier Appropriate Magic Item from 4-2 through 4-14, 2 Tier Appropriate Magic Items from any module you've ever run, 1 Renown for Each Character, 35000 XP
Yes, if you assign everything to a single character, you could build a pretty munchkin build (level 8 character (46850 XP) with 3 selected magic items).
Explain how that's different than groups of players cherry-picking old modules that they've already played and knowing who will get the magic item ahead of time?
Oh, wait, it isn't any different. Munchkins gonna munchkin.
It's nice to be concerned, but frankly, if it increases the number of games being run, I'm not at all worried.
