Discussions around "quality of life" can run in circles forever, and everyone will just stick to their positions.
Those who have been playing for more than a few months, you will remember New Horizons and how it was previously: you had to give each product individually. Extremely cumbersome, and a lot of players resented it to the point of stopping occupations. Yet, at the time, we also had voices saying "(..) the "improvements" strike me as nothing more than cosmetic"
So, based on previous experience,
- forum posting will achieve nothing, becase you will never have a consesus or at least a significant majority
- even if forums were somehow considered, this little change is at the bottom of the priority list, compared to other tasks (implementation of new rites, etc)
- the fastest way is to clear with WG that they would approve of this change, and then find someone who can do the actual coding on this one
The New Horizons change came about because of ONE enthusiastic player. That seems to be the general modus operandi around here: if you do it yourself, it is done. If you can't do it yourself, asking won't help one iota.
