Most of these changes recently wouldnt be proposed if there wouldn't exist a faction of the playerbase that is unhappy with these parts of the game.
So, simply saying "noone asked for that, so don't" is 1. not constructive, and 2. just wrong.
I don't know about jailbird but I was specifically pointing out that I cannot recall ever seeing players complain about the stowaway job ingame and I've seen plenty of people who enjoy playing it.
maybe my feedback isn't constructive but I think that "I don't think players want this" is worth as much in a discussion as constructive feedback is because what point is there in changing the game in a way the active playerbase doesn't like

Removing bad features adds fun. Just constantly adding more and more useless or unfun features is called "feature bloat".
True, yeah. It’s best to cut out bloat and slop where we can especially when it’s anti-fun and goes unused 99% of the time, stuff like Zoldorf,gravity tether, jailbird, stowaway etc is best off out of the codebase when they don’t really contribute much and just be a constant dead weight on the game loop.. but that’s just my opinion 🤷♂️
also maybe it's veering offtopic but I'm genuinely curious as to what you think removing these would improve on the game or how it counts as bloat
I've checked through the files and maybe I'm missing something but the files for stuff like the gravity tether are a few KBs in size at most
I might be alone in this opinion but I feel like the thing that makes ss13 great is the fact it has so many different items and moving parts inside it so removing old stuff that doesn't serve a massive purpose at best doesn't add much and at worst is probably gonna piss off some nerd who fondly regarded things like the gravity tether or other azone type of items
unless I'm missing obvious sarcasm or something here in which case tell me I'm an idiot I guess
