I do agree with you that it would be nice if they differentiated between SP and MP. I think that that would count as game design rather than bug fixing so it won't make 1.10, which may well be the last patch that isn't just to fix bugs
It's pretty easy to mod - I think you just change those numbers in difficultylevels.txt, the Phrozen Keep beginner's guide would let you do this if you wanted to change the SP game
As for the realms, I think you underestimate people's determination. Assuming a gold find character can pick up 2 million in a Travincal run and a gamble costs about 50K that's 40 gambles per run. About 100 runs per unique. If elite occurs 5% that 2000 runs per elite unique. Now people certainly were doing that sort of MF running in 1.09, Nobbie published the results of 15000 Pindle runs not that long ago
