Nothing I can say to that except, even though your logics are correct the developers have the freedom to configure the game mechanics the way THEY envisioned it. Adding features or rebalancing the entire game is not going to happen soon, because as stated earlier, the devs have stated that they are currently still working on game performance (with waypoints as a secondary objective). This was in the most recent patch newspost. If you are unable to enjoy something that isn’t made to your exact preferences, I suggest you learn how to code and model and create a railroad sim that’s just right for you. Or you could wait until the performance issues are solved and the devs actually start working on rebalancing and adding features. At which point I doubt they’ll look for your suggestion in this post.
It’s too bad the forums are so rudimentary. Having a single sticky topic with links to specific and well-supported suggestions would save them a ton of digging later on.
I agree these things need to be said. I just believe it needs to be done with dignity.
If there’s a gamebreaking issue, report on the issue.
If there’s a bug, report about the bug.
If you have a suggestion, make a topic about your suggestion (after checking if it’s not already there a dozen times).
They have one thing in common: dramatizing and acting peeved off don’t add any value to the case (as usual…). I am not saying you do this. I am saying the OP does this and a lot of complaints are made in this manner.
If you’re invested enough into the game to even make suggestions, then how much of a stretch is it to convey your issue in a proper, soundly supported manner. Is the point I wanted to make. 🙂
