And that poor GM is just unable to do anything about it.

Let us lament for that poor GM, who is forced to abide by RAW and can do nothing to stop the maliciousness of players abusing the rules of the game. All the while those players give a half smile and a slight shrug - after all, there's nothing they can do about it, either. They have to use the rules, and the rules don't stop abuse - they're forced to ruin the GM's game, because it's RAW.

If only there was something they could do about it.
