Yup - I think it was the biggest mistake not allowing hosts to change around all of the settings. You know -
like you can in GRAW2.
I personally think the idea of "ranking up" attracts the stat-whores & ruins the game almost immediately, which in turn shows you they'll do anything (like pretty much cheat and exploit the map) just to get that level up point...
They all need a swift kick in the nuts.
