Issues with the "Tainted Communications Devices"-modifier

IMO
I like the “Tainted Communications Devices”-modifier,
BUT I already made out some issues with it.

  1. Like with other pickups, people sometimes ignore them,
    because they joined the mission via quickplay and just don’t care.
    This isn’t as bad as with Scripts/Grims, since you can pick them up yourself
    and solve them on your own,
    BUT it has the issue attached,
    that if nobody is guarding you you may have issues to solve them in “peace”.

  2. People often pick them up and have no idea what to do with them.
    Sometimes this leads to them carring them to the end unsolved…

  3. There is also potential for grieving.
    See point. 2 if done on purpose.

  4. Sometimes, while solving the “riddle”, people steal/pickup your stimm.

That’s the four major issues I spotted thus far.

EDIT:
I already experienced in the few missions I did
how much potential for friction this can have even UNINTENTIONALLY.
Now imagine some trolls using this for active grieving…
