Why do scripters make everything overly complex?

[DustyPorViva]

I find it's because Graal itself is extremely limited, and you get no help from anyone who could change that. And it's not flexible either, which is another issue. Working with default means working with extreme limitations, and not being able to change what you need to. In the end in order to achieve your goals, sometimes you just have to do it yourself.

If I COULD do what I wanted with default, then I most definitely would. But these are not routes someone new/interested in scripting should take at all.

Not to mention that is a fairly recent addition to Graal, and only something that was added because Stefan needed to make players walk faster on iPhone servers; this is all despite how often and persistently it was asked for before iPhone servers came along. See the issue? iPhone servers came along and they COULDN'T be expanded/fixed with scripts like we're forced to do, but that's no problem because Stefan just adds what's needed.
