The mechanics of /players x

[Grayloch]

Whoa, slow the crazy train down.  Since when is using /players in SP not legitimate?

-- frink

No one is saying that using the /players command in SP is not legit. The issue being discussed here is spawning a monster at one difficulty setting (i.e. /players 1) and then changing the difficulty setting to a higher one (e.g. /players 8) after the monster is spawned to gain the rewards of the higher setting while dealing with the monster at the difficulty of the lower setting.
