Why can you only buy 1 NPC at a time?

Arguably one of the best decisions done by EE owners in modern times has been to remove Mrshoe's (I LOVE MONEY) practises such as for example: "consumable" potions, and being able to only buy 1 portal at a time.
Yet here we come full circle with NPC's apparently needing to be bough using countless amounts of energy if you want more than 2 in your world. I want to FILL my worlds with these NPC things to replace all the blockmen with signs which i have been using before this update, yet i can't do that because of this CA$HGRAB practise.

Why can't we buy like 10 at a time, or better yet. Just make it so you get unlimited uses from one purchase.
STOP FOLLOWING EA AND THEIR UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTISES!

it's not a cash grab because you can use energy

And its limited for a reason. According to Gosha, NPC's are heavy and you might not be able to save your world if there's alot of them.

Then just limit the amount you can put in a world rather than the speed in which you can buy them.

Great idea. How about limiting to only 100 NPC's of any type to one world? That sounds like it would be enough for people who wants to create a story world using them.

This is what always happens when Goshanoobs become mods. They begin power tripping and before you know it they are using Pepe the frog as an profile picture and posting unfunny japes which gets methodically upwooted by the n00b squad.

Then just limit it on how many NPCs could be added alongside the blocks on the world data size.

Re: Why can you only buy 1 NPC at a time?

I honestly don't mind one per purchase as it keeps a use for energy after the initial purchase.  Also kind of liked that about coin doors, spikes, and other action blocks because I have had NOTHING to buy but more worlds I will not use, and cakes.. just because I wanna fill a whole small world with them.

The only issue I have with NPCs is that you have to buy them separately, as in if you buy one happy one, and need a sad one, you also need to buy a sad one.

Re: Why can you only buy 1 NPC at a time?

Honestly I'd be fine with buying them individually if you bought general NPCs that could be any type - much better than having 4 angry NPCs and 6 happy NPCx, why not just have 10 NPCs that can be either angry or happy?
  --> You could still make it so you have to "unlock" different types of NPCs (for a price of like 1500-2500 energy, for example) but then buy +1 NPC for 500 energy

Re: Why can you only buy 1 NPC at a time?

I've done some thinking...

500 energy for 1 NPC. (Not taking beta 750 energy NPC into consideration)
Let's say you start out with 0 energy which recovers gradually to make it more simple.
1 energy recovers each 2.5 minutes
200 minutes= 1 NPC
3.3~ hours for 1 NPC

Let's say you need about 60 NPC's for them to actually be useful if you want to make an story level for example.
60 NPC'S= 200 hours
8.333 days of grinding!!
This is like unlocking Vader in EA Star Wars Battlefront 2 controversy all over again!
And what if you want 60 of each NPC type? You'd have to quintuple that number to approx 42 days!
Assuming you ONLY use energy for NPC's!!

if worlds not saving is why they’re limited, why not limit signs as well? they still cause problems

Theres no way to fix it, its a limit set by PlayerIO so the staff cant do anything about it.
