Game mode hasn’t been out for 20 minutes… and players have already found a way to grief, it’s ridiculous.

Exactly this. If guardians couldn’t trigger the button, you could just set up two beans directly on the button and it would make it near impossible for a thief to hit it.

yeah, it's been a tricky one to balance this! We felt like this approach forces Guardians to 'orbit' the button, giving Thieves a chance to break through and jailbreak. We'll keep an eye on griefing reports though!

I have an idea, maybe there could be a barrier in the immediate area of the button, which would prevent guardians from being able to go on top of the button and camp there, and also preventing guardians from pressing it. And of course thieves would be unaffected by the barrier and it would be as though it wasn’t there for them

Yeah, it's an interesting idea! One thing we try and avoid is having too many objects in the game that feel arbitrary or need explaining. We're already doing quite a lot of weird stuff in Sweet Thieves to keep it balanced- for example, having Guardians not be allowed to pick up sweets. Team specific barriers would be another thing on top of that in an already quite complex mode.
