Hottake - Players with lvl 25 in 2 weekends with no bug report should be excluded

Member, Alpha Two
Hi, I have a hottake about something that really bothers me.
You sometimes hear about and see players in streams that hit lvl 25 in no time by grinding bugged mobs. These bugged mobs will not attack you and most of the time insta spawn. Im playing on a fresh start server and yesterday I saw a lvl 19 grinding such a mob for at least 2 hours with auto attacks (I came by him twice and he was still farming it). I tried to talk to the guy but he seemed afk or didn´t wanted to answer. I reported the mob with ./bug. Also I saw at least 5 players with lvl 22-25 during my playtime yesterday. I´m not sure if you can hit that level in 2 weekends without abusing any bug. Since this is an alpha I would say it´s ok to abuse the bug when you are also reporting it, but I have the feeling some of those people don´t report the bug to abuse it in the future (future alpha tests or whatever). I just dont like the feeling that there might be Players doing that, since it´s the absolute opposite to what they should be doing. It´s all about finding and reporting those bugs so they dont make it ito the finished game.
So here is my take: If there are players on alpha servers who hit lvl 25 in way less time than expected (e.g. 2 weekends) and they have not committed any bug report (especially regarding bugged mobs, or other exp sources), they should really be looked into and considered to be excluded from the alpha testing. At least give them a warning. They are not doing what they supposed to do and behaving like something that is bannable in the finished game.
