The LBD theyre introducing isnt what I wanted or had in mind.

"and everything else"? They would have to add a massive amount of mostly new features (since their code basis changed a lot they would mostly not be able to simply use the old code, they would have to implement many of them from scratch), would have to integrate lots of **alternative** GUI elements to support those different methods and worst of all balance that again:

If they add everything in just one option they would not appease players who want a different set of old features, also some would contradict each other
If they add every feature with its own option, balancing that would be a total and impossible nightmare. And you can bet that the critics want those features balanced as well, see the discussion about the jar slider.

I don't how difficult it would be to implement any of that stuff. Without seeing an example of how it's done I'll just have take your word for it.

Also, I'm not talking about the main game, I'm talking about the free for all sandbox mode. Balance would be much less of a consideration because the player would be responsible for it. Even now there are settings that would allow for the balance to be completely ruined for some players.

For me personally though, I don't care because if I want something in the game I can add it myself. The beauty of modding. Luckily for me the only thing I want is more zombie models.

I'm just looking at this from a PR perspective. It is a shame how damaging public perception can be, regardless of how much weight the concerns really have.
