By the way, designing features based on speculation is usually not a good idea. (...) Maybe there's a bug report in our tracker requesting such functionality? If not, perhaps you don't need to worry too much about that scenario.
I have a habit of assuming the worst case and then try to create something that (hopefully) solves for the entire range of problems/issues that might occur.
This sounds like it's a good thing, and sometimes it is, at other times, it isn't, because the sky is not about to fall.[1]
I've been thinking why that is so. and my best guess is that this probably a function of OO coding on the MUD, where anything and everything can cause surprises, because things interact whilst interactively interacting.
If you've ever replaced 20+ players lives, stats, xp points and equipment because your fun toy caused a chain reaction that you hadn't considered... you get extra careful after the umpteenth time ;-D
