It just won't work, and even if it did, it would put too much power into too few hands. If they went AWOL, or decided to go pay-to-play, we'd have no recourse. This slow, painstaking method, is the only way lol... Of course developers could always at least try to make it easier for modders. But they can't be bothered with, what to them, are trivial things, but to us, essential pieces of the game. Like the bugfixes that they seem to bee too incompetent or apathetic to fix.
