"Reigned in" -> "Reined in"

Something said a lot in the patch notes is that something has been "reigned in".

It's meant to be a riding metaphor, about a horse's reins; you "rein in" a horse to slow it down. It's not about royalty ruling, or "reigning".

This a common eggcorn, which causes unbridled annoyance when allowed free rein.
