As the name suggests.
Plugins more and more are becoming unneeded and they are only meant for 1 purpose: to give players advantages over other players who are playing the game. I don't know why the option to mess with game files was ever given to players in the first place but whatevs, as developers are adding some of these plugins I have no issue, everyone can use them then. But once that is done and still right now at this very moment I will keep fighting against the use of plugins. Yay for me! my super unopopular opinion haha. But seriously those who argue against this ONLY want to keep their advantages to themselves.

But TRIPOD what about shop bots!!!?? waaah!: well you can try to contribute by making missions in in the PCC, I'm all for having a mission tree to make shop-merchant npcs.

But TRIPOD what about my spot bots :(: easy, you can take you, your toxicity, and yer shitty bots out of vo.

What about our trade plugins to help the newer people?: ahhh no, I highly doubt newer players can actually figure out how to download a plugin considering most are on mobile ports nowadays.

I plead it, please get rid of the plugin system, it ruins the game, giving people the ability to use plugins to make their vo experience better is like putting a bandaid on the broken leg, it doesn't fix what others see.

Thank you for reading.

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

As written, I think many readers are going to react to your extraneous comments rather than your point.

I would suggest editing to communicate more effectively:

"Plugins more and more are becoming unneeded. (T)hey (...) give players advantages over other players (who don't know how or don't want to use them). I don't know why the option to mess with game files was ever given to players in the first place but whatevs, as developers are adding some of these plugins I have no issue, everyone can use them then.

What about our trade plugins to help the newer people?: ahhh no, I highly doubt newer players can actually figure out how to download a plugin considering most are on mobile ports nowadays.

(More sophisticated users can) try to contribute by making missions in in the PCC, I'm all for having a mission tree to make shop-merchant npcs.

"But seriously those who argue against this ONLY want to keep their advantages to themselves."

That is slanderous bullshit. We actually go out of our way to share plugins with all who want them. Thus Voupr and the many plugin threads in Community Projects.

In contrast, the people who object to plugins almost always seem to have a hateful attitude toward those of us who volunteer our time and skills for the betterment of all.

Grow up.

Plugins have their challenges, but they're still net-positive. It gives the community a way to iterate on new ideas, independent of VO core developer time.

The plugin system will likely evolve, but I do not intend to remove it at this time.

They make the game playable. Although I understand why you think they are bad, shop bots, spotters and trade plugins are not as good at fixing problems as they are at creating them.

Language, greenwall. Show some respect to the Christians who play this game.

You're right Tripod, I never should have been able to make the DroidButtons plugin.
