There is no NODROP routine so far, that also must be implementet.
It is more than a simple 1 liner that the progammers have to do!
Think a little like a programmer and you will know why MA didnīt implement that lending system. |
The logic and code to implement an lending system should be laughably simple. Yes it depends on how good the existing code is, but even
MA doesn't claim difficulty as their reason for not adding it -- everyone would call shenanigans on them if they did. They explained their reasons when they said there were no plans to add a lending system a while back. I'm not going to search but i imagine it was in the last Q&A.
The reasons are economic.
