This is the problem. Even experienced players have issues with Crossfire
scripting.
My concern is that scripting is under-documented.

For example, let's say a player *did* need to pick up 1000 items. If

Totally true. I tried to balance them somewhat at one point, but it is a

About 18 months ago I sparked a discussion about an expanded Crossfire

this quite expensive. So I decided to wait until until

Hi Nicholas. Presumably the info generated in the client is checked
