Well, I disagree. Being able to stand inside a building in safety while
nuking a monster that cannot hit you is not using your head but cheating.
Perhaps this isn't what you were referring to in your message, but this
would seem to be want Verrant is protecting against, and now that I think
about it, I'd say it's wise. Other wise people could go out and solo just
about anything without ever getting hit. They'd be levelling 2-3 times a
day, and the game would be easy.
