Wow, that is quite the run-on sentence.
In other news, no, demanding explanations is not a productive mode of conversation. And you said it yourself, they thought it was a good idea because it would encourage people to use transportation items that seem underutilized. Perhaps it wasn't a great reason, but it's reason enough, and you need to stop badgering them.
It seems there are both advantages and disadvantages to this change. What suggestions can you offer, other than completely reversing the update, that would make this change more favorable to you? I've read over your security concerns, and they all seem very valid. Are there any solutions you can recommend? It is far more difficult for a coder to make a change in response to an wandering complaint than in response to concrete ideas about what can be done to resolve a problem.
It looks like reducing the speed-reduction for people and body pulling is a pretty common request so far, we'll see how the admins respond to that. Anything else that would help?
