That's because they're forced using UOAM which is pretty much a map assistance because we don't have such pads. If you ask me it's more work to download a program and figure out how it works rather than just add pads or portals.

Step 1: Google UOAM - Find download link
Step 2: Download UOAM
Step 3: Install UOAM & update maps
Step 4: Use UOAM

The first three take less than five minutes. The program is NOT hard to use. I really do think you're grasping here.

As stated earlier not everyone knows the world by heart or wishes to use UOAM or knows how to use it, what if said he or she gets lost after being killed at Destard or another location for example magnicia(on an island) and does not know his or her way back or doesn't have a boat or money because that such player is new to the shard. Not to mention there's no GM's around to assist that such player in that situation. Do you think that player will want to stick around wasting all that time? At that point he would already be judging the staff and players of the shard and might decide to move on to a different shard.

It's also not seen as a serious shard if you hand them everything.

At this point I really think you're just wanting to make it as easy as possible for you and your friends to run around killing people.
