The company that couldn't predict the interaction between Vicious Hammers and Horntail Pendants or between White Scrolls and slot recovery scrolls? Your theory is flawed. Occams razor. Which is more likely, them doing it based on the way the world worked at the they did it, or them building something they expected to handle all future changes known and unknown? Yeah. Considering new content isn't even added taking into account existing content it's absolute bull to state that old content was even remotely possibly potentially added in with forethought to future content.
"Unless you are a GMS coder level coder," Dear light if they're your baseline for comparison I'm a coding God. All the restrictions you've mentioned are based on discrete values in the game. There is only one discrete value for class type, therefore they didn't have the ability to make subclass specific equipment because there is nothing to compare the values to. It's an entire added layer of complexity to the way their system works and would have potentially made them incompatible with other MS versions. They took the "easy" route, it doesn't take a psychic to understand or determine that, it takes someone who's accustomed to watching the antics of lazy and/or externally hampered programmers trying to add improvisions to vendor code.
This conversation has exceeded my absurdity tolerance. You may believe what you want, anyone with half a brain can see the obvious here.
You are simply limiting their intent to the present moment they created the elestaves. Why can't the creators of elestaves think 'oh Elestaves are now also intended for BaM's' when BaM's came out? (sure it may not seem intended for BaM's, but don't say it like its fact. You can't be infallibly sure of this unless you are in their head or a mind reader). An inventor is not required to say everything his/her invention is intended for the moment they create it. Sure there are present needs and intended purposes, but it can be built upon and the intent could change and be broadened. Just be open minded lol.
Calm down yo, there's no reason to get so worked up even if I am in your perspective absurd, as you could easily also be to me. I did learn a few things from our conversation so I appreciate it. And I'm glad that we can both agree that Nexon is incompetent.
