If you wish you didn't know about it, nothing is stopping you from not utilizing the classic mechanic and dying on your run from a mob. Enjoy!
I was anticipating this response from someone. I don’t have to use it sure, but the damage is already done by everyone else with this knowledge that currently use it. In a way I feel it disrupts the integrity of the game world.

Other than that, other things that were ‘classic’ here have been nerfed over the years due to being too powerful so I feel that argument wouldn’t align with the spirit of the project.

When running though, I do outpace mobs quickly. It isn’t as simple as a mob ‘sometimes not hitting you’- strafe running over a distance will create a sizable gap between you and that mob.
