I agree but the problem is that you created these mechanics and they are not being exploited. The players are using them according to the way they were set up. You just don't like the outcome. The problem is that you are not forward thinking enough to understand what the outcomes of your designs are. All you are doing is reacting to what the players are doing. It is not the players fault it is your own.
