I think we've all come to the conclusion that Pointshop 2 is pretty garbage, but the problem is 1, Another option has yet to be found, and 2, even with another option, a lot of technical labor has to be undertaken to get people's items and points over to the new shop, and we realistically don't have anyone in a drivers seat capable of doing that.

Casually converting the entire Prophunt item and point records (at the VERY least, 50,000 unique players) into a format the new shop would use, whatever that new shop would be, is bound to throw a massive wrench in the works somewhere along the line. Provided that Pointshop 2 still works to a reasonable degree, it's probably not going anywhere anytime soon.

I agree a hundred percent but for the part about transferring everybody's items over, i think we shouldn't worry about it to much as the point shop is really ruining the game  with all the technical issues if you want to make it simplified we could just request all players to screenshot their inventories and we can just compensate people points and for items lost or we can just give all players a certain amount of points at the beginning. But still of course if we have all the people screenshot their inventories someone has to sit there and go through them all.

All the players screenshots? Do you even realize how many screenshots that would be? Now people who donated and got a certain amount of premium points within the last few months maybe, but EVERYONE? Only people who can add items to an individual's inventory are admins, co-owners, and the owner. Which for PH is me and Dink. That responsibility would mainly fall on me with that and that would take days if not weeks to get everyone covered. I realize the pointshop is causing issues, getting rid of the pointshop would get rid of skins, cosmetics, weapons, jet packs etc. People might be fine with for the first week but then they would start complaining about either not being able to buy anything or losing all of their items.


We could get (or need) a new pointshop if the one we have cannot have a feasible way of fixing the current one. The likelihood of being able to carry everyone's stuff over is unlikely. People would complain about that as well with a clean slate even though many don't use the pointshop anyways and just have everything given to them instead of earning it but that's a tangent. If we keep it and cannot fix it people will complain, we could get a new one and probably not be able to transfer everyone's stuff over and I can absolutely guarantee you that people would complain about this, or if we get a new one and somehow find a way transfer some if not everyone's items over they will complain for some reason (trust me they will).

This would not affect new players as much but would rather really hurt the regulars. Some abuse the shop and know the tricks to get their items back quickly, while others causally play and get their items over a great deal of time.

I want to make this clear is that we know this is an issue and we are trying to work on it but in the meantime we ask for your patience and understanding. All of us has experienced this issue by now or have at least heard about it.
