This needs more likes because of how true it is. They simply didn't plan for that system in advance and so didn't code for it. To squeeze it in now would result in lots of debug and possible errors cause it's a system that was never designed to exist with how the game works now. And I wish they would just say that when this gets asked instead of giving roundabout semi-technical answers.
