So this might sound like a silly question, but all ruleset settings should be default right ? I don't see this explicitly mentioned in the rules, but there are tons of options to change in the rulesets that could make even brutal difficulty a walk in the park, like multiplying player health and damage, multiplying resource drops, heck you can even make every recipe free.

I was thinking about how long and difficult a brutal mode 'kill dracula' all bosses run would be, and then I remembered those settings. Should the rules maybe be updated to say that you have to use "Standard PvE Rules" ? I bet everyone has so far, but it also might be possible to change some settings a tiny bit to sneakily cheat.

I'd also be interested personally in a category for custom runs, like, anything goes for rulesets, cuz if you do move every slider in your favor it would be much more reasonable time-wise to actually do a run, but it would also be way too easy. Maybe there's a middle ground everyone could agree on like having resources be easy but the fights are still hard ?
