The one exploit that I think the game could do without

I'm calling you that because that's what your arguments amount to: A spoiled child reacting to the idea of losing their treat.

Literally the lead developer himself has said that he wants players to overcome adversity, and gain a sense of satisfaction from doing so.

Clearly Greyoll is an oversight, bug, whatever you want to call it.

Not only that, you claimed that 5 minutes at an appropriate level is not worth the runes.

Everything you've said describes the behavior of an entitled player who doesn't want to even put forth the most bare minimum effort to get anything in the game.

How would YOU describe that sort of behavior?
