... You can already do this kind of stuff with your PDA, but it's noticeably slower and not very user-friendly ...
TLDR: We can already run DWAINE scripts and commands using our PDAs, except significantly slower.
I think it's fair that packets are clunky to use, given their power.
They aren't even THAT clunky. Like, to change from send to receive it's just a change from "send" to "recv" in the data for the script. You still need a crapton of nerd shit, custom programs etc. to even make something like that work. This just somewhat speeds up the process of doing it from your PDA. Like, while it is significantly slower right now, it's not like, stupidly slow. I can send and receive using tele commands fast enough that it's actually pretty practical and takes almost the same time as the console itself. Overall, this just makes it easier, more user-friendly and overall less of a "replace part of text" and more of a "click button thing happen". You still have to write the packets to even turn them into buttons. It's still somewhat clunky, but it's just... better.
