I would also wonder about going to the Ashlands early on a map and exploring a lot of it. Then on release count that since it was already explored it wouldn't have the new content but may be suitable place for new agriculture in a way not intended either. I had a old Mistlands map like that where I could potentially grow mushrooms uninterrupted by seekers.

At the end of the day though people can only cheat themselves. As long as they are enjoying the game what anybody else is doing shouldn't impact your fun or your experience. The game has far too many ways to "abuse" it available but again since it isn't really a competitive game it doesn't really matter.

i find that previously explored mistlands still spawns enemies. but without mist and rocks, its certainly easier.
