That the community is thinking about how that might be done is no different than the various other QoL features we've theorized, asked for, and gotten select parts of. That does not make those in-game features somehow a matter of jumping through community hoops, no matter how badly you slant them.
Because Ralph's entire stance is literally the barest of possible minimums is perfectly okay. He has openly defeated players using outdated gear in Savage because hey, they cleared. It doesn't matter they only cleared on the backs of other players doing all the work. Caring in the slightest about your performance makes you a "tryhard elitist". It's all absolute nonsense and better left ignored.
