This. ^ I am right behind you on this one 3LION. If we are going to have to start basing game designs around what griefers might do then we have already lost. So do we now have to start removing existing features, and witholding new ones because they might be used for spamming and griefing??
Sandstone foundations can be spammed and affect server performance, vaults can be spammed and negatively affect server performance, lighting can be spammed and affect server performance, thralls can be spammed and affect server performance (for now). There were recently calls to remove all chairs from the game because of giefing. And does anyone remember when there were calls to stop bringing out anymore placeables because they might be spammed and it could impact server performance? Now there is even a reluctancy to add in Armor Manequinns because (among other things) ‘if tons and tons of them’ are spammed it might negatively affect server performance. I dont buy this logic. Any of us has the potential to be involved in an automobile accident on the way home from work, which has the actual real life potential to be harmful or fatal. But does that mean we should stop building new cars, or remove existing ones…? Of course not.
The beauty of the situation is that we now have rules and bans in place which can be enacted in response to spamming and griefing. I suggest we use them, as opposed to witholding or removing features.
