That you are wrong, how is it a step backward?
Lets say, If players can use:
/Buff - and gives exp buff by 10% for 1hr. And this command has a cooldown of 5 hrs.
/Kruma - Teleports players instantly to Kruma. 10 minutes Cooldown.
The video indicates he can use GM commands but as a developer, like you Its up to you if you put such commands into use.
Take my example above, is that backward thinking?
I disagree with you.
Something like that is Quality of Life.
You're thinking is way way backwards and not for the sake of people's quality of life improvement.
Well, of course you dont know poop about this so perhaps thats why you said its backwards.
Example that 100% works.
P.S.
Im building a similar feature like this but with more cool stuff.
Heterojeneo may be doing this clientside, but my approach is 100% server side.
