My point was that cals solution to the issue was to not have it yet in the past preaching about how "if something becomes a issue just Ahelp it". Its not even like them having pipe access is unreasonable, the whole job of a ghost drone is the fix the station. So why limit them to not being able to pipes? it doesnt make sense using previous logic for us to stop them having this ability just because of its potential to be grief rather than its far more likely use of being used to fix broken pipes etc.
Ghostdrones ORIGINALLY had a full on RCD not their cardboard version. Then classic grievers came and well despite admins being Ahelp called a lot.
It became so WIDE SPREAD of a problem that admins had to be on 24/7 to log in and bop one cause grievers gotta grief.
Ahelping doesn't remove the ROOT CAUSE of the problem, it's just a way of dealing with it and if no admin is on... gets to ruin as much rounds as they like till an admin bops em.
This is why the ghostdrone was nerfed, cause admins are volunteers who are trusted to bop bad people, but in the end... they have lives too.
Rather then having more admins to keep the ghostdrones the same.. the staff decided to nerf and change the tool so ghostdrone grieving would be at best "Annoying" yet still useful enough to help players.
There have been much changes in the years of functionality and tools wich made the game slightly less "fun" for certain jobs/people but some were made cause every round devolved into: "This guy is causing a muck with "Well known tool" again..."
Most well known cases:
- RP Shuttles cannot be hotboxed/gas/flooded/etc.
- Ghostdrone RCD changed to cardboard builder.
- Pathology removed.
- Portasci remote program unable to be shared.
And thats that.
