Keep the community small then. No one wants to watch runs that mostly consist of auto running. Removing ramps is an intended game design. Soldiers on crossbows eventually starve to death without a ramp, as their food sources cannot be replenished. Its clear the developers were aware of removing the ramp as a possibility.

I think you misunderstand exploitation versus glitching. Here are examples of each from the game.

Glitch : While the game is paused you can rapidly steal from an enemy that is "Playing Dead", thus leveling up your thieving skill far quicker than normal.

Exploit : You can turn in the Bugmaster to the UC, break him out and then turn him into the Sheks.

Here is a quote from another forum : "An exploit would be, say, staggerlocking enemies, which, while unfair, is not breaking the games mechanics. A glitch, on the other hand, is something like one gun firing ANOTHER gun's ammunition, ... That is not only unfair, but it is also breaking the game's mechanics."

I can provide more examples if you are still having trouble understanding the difference.

I think a no glitches and no exploit category could be interesting as well. I think anything to get away from the current tactics people are running. A "No Assassination" category is a good start.

I think it'd mainly be to take the current speedrun meta away from what it is now. The current speedruns are frankly lame. You mostly auto run from point A to point B and then click on an enemy. Thats the whole run. Imagine if people actually fought these bosses and were forced to be creative.

Also, using an auto clicker could theoretically be allowed under the current rules, and if you are using the assassination glitch it could shave off a considerable amount of time.

Could I suggest adding a glitchless category? Would be nice to see people get creative with their runs. With the multitude of different characters and playstyles I'm sure people could find some creative ways to take down the big guys in game.
