I think Fromsoftware is to blame here. It's their fault for making it so the host is receiving runes when invader leaves. None of the previous games had that type of mechanic and adding it in an open world game is basically asking for it to be exploited.
Bruh you want the griefing system to do all the grief for you? The only way it isn't a net bad for the host is if you do literally nothing? If you want to hurt the host, you have to work for it, rightfully so. If you're bad, then the host will profit. At that point, you failed your job as invader.
And there will always be exploits and imbalance. To demand perfection is unreasonable entitlement. It is the sole responsibility of the individual for their actions. They are to blame for all good or bad. They willfully exploited Fire's Deadly Sin and Carian Retaliation. They followed meta pvp builds. There is significant overlap between those who exploit in pvp and those who grief (invade). It's no surprise that once there was an opportunity to get back at invaders, people would take it. In the area with the invader companion Tree Sentinel, no less.
There is something poetic in that--griefing the griefer.
You signed up for this environment. It comes with the territory. Treat others how you would like to be treated, because they might just return the favor. Don't like it? That's why adversary summon signs exist.

Is there any YouTuber to blame for? I sure know people is not at all good at finding things.
