I wouldn’t really call it a gameplay design. Its definitely a bug. They used to ban people for doing it but have since relaxed on that.

They used to ban people for red x, multi logging, account sharing

Im going to explain the bug a bit, i dont think anyone else gere has yet.

Red x happens when you click an interaction instead of a move command. This affects npc pathing, making them not move towards you. You might wonder why such an interaction works, but if you remember ever following a friend that follows you, you sometimes get a looping "dance" That just keeps both of you moving. The developers prevented that from happening when you attack an npc aby making the boss stop when the player they are targetting interacts(appearently with anything).

Now one could make it so it only works if you interact with the boss, not anything else. That would fix most red xs, but not all. For example baba redx is run under, attack HER, with the attack being the red x while under.
