Honestly though, it was really stupid for SE to change something that was working, for a tangential reason (brink of death).

If SE really wants people to stop speed running all they need to do is put gates between each pack of mobs.
Well either way the change they made I feel is the best change. And it still means people need to wake up and actually change instead of doing the same thing hoping it'll work this time when it will never work the same again.
