Not at all.

The first thing that you need to learn about Turbine is that it doesn't
force you to do anything any particular way. It presents options of things
to use and it is up to you to decide whether or not you want to use them.

The Peer objects make that easy. But, what confuses me greatly is here you
are asking for a feature, we provide a solution to that problem and you are
saying that it "concerns you greatly"...I don't get it.

Yes, the goal of Turbine is to make working with it and its tools as hard as
possible.

"Easy" is relative.

Spend some more time reading and playing...we have spent a great deal of
time creating the TDK, the least you could do is spend time playing with it
and seeing for yourself.
