    originally speed runs in dungeon were "exploits" so they added in required mobs to reach bosses. E.g. you could no longer run to the boss and lock out an entire chain of mobs. You have to kill a few mobs first by the boss entrance. Just like in brayflox hard runs you need a key for the first boss, and you need to defeat all sets of goblins for second. Therefore not an exploit anymore. You have to play the game still to get to a boss. Killing lots of mobs at once is just a risky trade off.

    PVP win trading on the other hand you don't really play. You go in, kill people who don't fight back. then go in and get killed without fighting back. No real "gameplay" involved.

    Like i said if FCs rig the system to fight each other. but actually have real matches (e.g. 3-5min per fight where people try) i don't see a huge problem. It's when skip the actual fight and just die to speed up the process that is a problem.

    In reality win trading isn't any different that hitting a button repeatedly. Technically you could do it with the following steps
    Queue up at same time
    Enter button
    Spam 1 attack to kill opposing player while they stand there. or stand there and let yourself be killed
    Exit button

    Repeat.

    A combination of 4 buttons, no effort or skill, no real time-sink other than hitting the 4 buttons, to accomplish 1 month of grinding.
