Default The on going quest to hinder the players.

Over my years on p99 I've noticed that the dev's are more inclined to add 'bug fixes' that hinder the players. Many the 'bug fixes' that benefit players take pages of proof to convince them it's a legit bug. Where as the 'bug fixes' that hinder players get added after a single post by someone who found proof that is not bullet proof.

Am I alone in thinking that P99 is programed to be more difficult in an attempt to replicate the classic feel? And has anyone who follows the bug section noticed this trend I describe?

This is not a bash on staff and I specifically don't name names. It's my opinion/observation and I posted it in RnF to allow people to speak their mind freely.

I think players have an inherent bias towards helpful fixes, so it makes sense for the devs to have (some degree of) the opposite bias to counter that.

That is a valid interesting point. People will always search for an advantage or way to gain the system. It also makes me wonder if the number of beneficial bug reports is higher than hindering bug reports. Which would explain why some of the beneficial ones go unanswered. (excluding the ones that lack proper evidence ofc)

They did add something to this degree is a patch last year I think. Which made non-infra-ultra-vision more difficult to see at nighttime. This came along side the more classic skys patch I believe. I'd have to dig back to verify though.
