So everybody should play this game exactly as you do? Yeah it is a cheap and easy way to gain souls but as they do their opponent pool goes up a bracket. Eventually they will be fighting people who know how to play Dark Souls, at that point the monsters and traps will be of little help to the unskilled looking for easy souls. They could use bonefire ascetics to their hearts content but there are bosses in each location that they will have to defeat to make the bonfire stronger yet. Well maybe in the Grave that first bonfire might boost some rats but the Grave is boring and unecessary. In fact both places they summon you from are not integral to beating the game. So you could almost say you are asking for it when you go to these locations. Losing sucks even if you do not lose anything other than the fight but if you take a zen attitude you could just stand there and let the fight end wothout doing anything. How can you feel upset at the loss if you didn't even try to win? I joined just to complete the covenant and there were a few people that were able to either beat me in a fight or run past and get to the fog door (I camped the Doors ofPharrohs). The ones that knew how to play Dark Souls showed up on purpose knowing that most Rat King memebers follow the same tactics.
