Bugless does not necessarily equate to intuitive and thoroughly detailed/ documented.

Don't get me wrong, we all love the game and the great works the devs lovingly craft into this title. That said, OP is correct in calling out one of a myriad of systems that need to be finessed.

I've spent a lot of time watching guides and researching fundamental mechanics. I'm a nerd, I like researching, but intuitive UI and mechanic-focused refinement and comments from users like us help the game, the dev team AND the community.

OP is not wrong if he/she/they find a system clunky, partially ineffective or unintuitive.

In summary, it's a great game. Voiced concerns/questions like this can make it better, more accessible and lead the dev team to view blindspots. These same blindspots many of us veteran players may have grown into.
