Moved to it's own idea. If you've proposed something that takes more than one post to get across, it's not a small idea.
The issue of the custom clients having more features than the official client has been addressed several times, but I'm happy to do it again. We, two years ago, decided that improving the main client would be a low priority for us because with the availability of other options for your client needs, we'd rather spend the money we get from you guys, and the time we have, on developing new content for the game, fixing bugs, rebalancing, all that stuff you seem to love so much.
Some day we will add some of those nice features that Kandarim's and Ender's clients have, in fact we did add several of our favorite features almost a year ago when we had a little extra money to pay one of the other devs to put some extra time in for the purpose.
Why don't we just buy Kandarim's client off him and call it good? Well, two reasons. First, there are some things in his client (gob paths come to mind) that we just don't want to be a thing, and they'd all have to be removed. Second, I'm told that there are some things in the code that would have to be streamlined that would actually take a lot more work than we want to put the time and money in to. So, we stick to upgrading the client we already have.
You're certainly free to suggest that some feature of a custom client be added to the official one, but please be calm about it. Explain this feature you want added, and why, with no crazy screaming fonts. I can then put it on the list of possible additions for next time we update the client.
