Exactly, though even an NPC which works at first may be problematic in the long run. What if you were to create some new weapon/system, but this weapon were to collide with older scripts?
You'd either have to have ensured everything complex on the server is scripted systematically, or keep having to go back and fix older scripts.

I understand, so I apologize if I kinda blamed the classic staff like it was only its own decision.

I guess my complaints should go to other people.
