Vending machines

[sweet slate]

Y'all took away vending machines because people were being toxic. But in reality you only made the game more toxic and honestly stuff like this is starting to really hurt the game. It's exhausting how y'all are trying to monetize a mature rated game. If anything we need more ways to express ourselves via signs not to be toxic and talk trash but for more productive things like advertising a hotel or a car taxi service/dealership. I can't do things like this because y'all thought it was a good idea to take vending machines out and in reality not giving people more stuff to do makes the game so much more toxic. Idk why y'all couldn't just ban the people abusing it instead of fisting the whole community for something not everyone was doing and if they weren't they were supposed to get banned but y'all never banned people for abusing it.

Blame the consoles, not D11.

Kinda rotates back to the fact they should have banned people for abusing it. I'm not saying they weren't but chat muting people for a few hours isn't enough repercussions not enough was done to punish abuse of the vendis . And it kinda seems like the decision was there to take out vending machines not consoles, and I know more steps could be taken to give us these things back, like a very strong monetization algorithm, this would be better than not being able to type at all

My point is they could do the work in the future to give us this back I just think it's going to take enough push from the community

Ehhhhh thats a bit of a blanket statement imo.
Plenty of games have the option to enter and display text but have strict filters and actively deal with people that abuse/exploit those features.
I just don't think they want to or more likely don't have the manpower to constantly be going into servers to remove them and ban those involved.

We are likely to get premade signs...
Teas, Guns etc.
Its highly unlikely names in vending machines will return unless its preset phrases.

It's not manpower it's work load right now that's why I'm saying it can definitely be worked on later right now they already have a road map and they're already having server stability issues

And quite a few bugs to fix but manpower definitely isn't the issue

[granite kraken]

Well I mean those kind of go hand and hand when you don't have the man power BECAUSE of the workload but yes your statement is probably more accurate lol

[sweet slate]

I mean yeah but at some point you can't just hire an army of people

[granite kraken]

No but maybe having a few people dedicated to that specifically wouldn't be a bad idea if it's ever added back in the future

[sweet slate]

I agree but they have dev sections for several things not just one. Like the moderation team might be a part of the same team that bans people etc.

Yeah I know it's unlikely but I'm saying if people care about typing in game then they should speak up so we're not at a loss when it comes to typing in signs and vendis. It is the quality of life we're Missing out on
