I'm sorry but did you seriously just spend months adding the simple feature of "make-all" because you decided complicate it and change THE ENTIRE INTERFACE?
I can see why you'd leap to that conclusion. But have a look at what we offered:
Question: Should a Make-All option be offered alongside every Make-X option in Old School?
If this was all that passed, we'd have simply put a Make-All option under the existing Make-X options. Still not quick to do, in fact, since the Make-X systems were never well centralised before, but it would have saved maybe 3 weeks.
And then we offered more, to see if players maybe wanted something with less right-clicking:
Question: If Make-All is added to Old School, should the Make-X interfaces in the chatbox area be upgraded as described in the blog so that Make-All can be a left-click option rather than always being right-click?
And that one passed too. With 90% support. So yes, we proceeded to redesign the interface because players asked us to.

You always have to take things a step further, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the old one...
... though 90% of players wanted something more than that.
We could certainly have saved a bit of time by not offering anything more than a bare-bones basic job, and if you wish we'd refused, or if you wish those 90% of players had voted differently, that's absolutely fair enough.
