PDA ATMs are TICKING me off!
#10
This change has been absolutely amazing for gimmicks and just making money more liquid. I don't really think any of the proposed negatives outweigh the positives. Stealing money is easier now, yeah, but like... I don't think that really matters? I mean, before the change it was nearly impossible to steal peoples money without just doing it invisibly from the bank records which isn't really engaging or fun for either party -- trying to threaten someone to go to an ATM and withdraw their money successfully is such a once in a blue moon situation given that they're in public hallways. I've seen a lot more actual back and forth with antags (gangs or spiefs, usually) trying to take peoples pdas and the whole money printing thing being used as a reasoning for the crew to stand up to the antag instead of just giving them the PDA and getting a new one. Which is nice! It's engaging! Prior to this change, a lot of people just straight up didn't care about their credits at all. Some still don't, but from my experiences it definitely feels like less of them now that people are doing more gimmicks involving them. And not just selling stuff -- bribing people! I've had so much fun bribing people now, when previously that was just not something most people would engage with because they'd have to go and find an atm or just have credits taking up space in your inventory.

I really really do not want a PIN prompt added. They're clunky and just another little pointless time waster of a window, generally (if it's your card then you know the PIN already and just have to click through annoying popup) and would make it basically impossible to mug people again. I don't really see the problem with any of this in terms of the "easy to crime" angle; If they've run off with your ID and PDA you've lost access to your account anyways. There's a LOT of ways you can lose your ID and pda in a round, it's irritating but it's not the end of the world.
