How is using the game mechanics, "exploiting"? Do you want BG3 to be a JRPG where you load into a set battle arena?
Yea and you can eat an apple between 2 hit with your sword, you can jump like frogs to avoid damage, you can use a magic scroll when you never learn magic, you have more chance to hit a target with your bow if you're 50m away and higher... If you're 50m away but at the same level it's harder...
This is bad game design, so this is exploit. I hope the majority of EA testers don't think like you^^
