Apparently there's a bug where you can do special steps to ensure a specific way your ursine chainmace's spec only gives a far smaller hp xp drop than normal, allowing for 10 hp accounts to complete quests at such a low health level. Can we nerf this bug by making the xp gained from ursine chainmace specs not so low so players are forced to use other available methods to be able to avoid hp xp? And so if we do eventually get account builds forced despite players voting no (hopefully) in then it'll be in an official pure account.

It's not a bug... It's an entirely purposeful function of the game. You describe this like it's some malevolent, game abusing method.

All they do is lower their Strength stat by one of the many intended methods, so their max hit goes down... Like seriously, Sara brews are a thing... The stat drain isn't a bug...

Why do you feel the need to disingenuously describe this as a bug, when you know full well this is a normal function of the game? I presume it's because you don't like the way the spec works, but you know you couldn't get support on nerfing it, so you present the method as a bug to garner support.

For anyone who is confused as to what the "bug" is, the apparent "bug" is that if you lower your strength stat through, say, a sara brew, your max hit goes down, and therefor your xp per hit goes down. And because the spec applies a bleed, similar to poison, the spec can still deal reasonable damage, despite only hitting a 1 on the initial hit, therefor only granting xp for the 1 damage. So if this is a bug, what about poison? Should poison also grant xp now? Because they work the exact same way. Now with added
