Zombies are People, Too
CityRPG:
But what are people trying to accomplish? The director is really, really simple. All it does is spawn zombies.
Solid:
If you aren't even going to consider our suggestions than why do you even ask for them?

You even admit in the OP the following:

A suggestion is more along this premise:
"I would like to see the Rambo zombie. It has a bazillion HP and is only vulnerable to melee damage. It would add a challenge in a game where guns solve all problems."
It has: A thesis, a description, and a reason for implementation. What you have said is missing all but the first part
"I would like to see the director removed."
Why are you suggesting this? What would this solve? What would it allow you to do?

I admit what? I didn't admit it needs to be removed, I'm bluntly stating it has issues with some people. They can't figure out how to spawn zombies. They put down a Zombie Spawn directly where they spawn in bedroom, click Standard Zombie, get the message, and then start a mini where they spawn 3 feet next to it in plain view with obstruction and are shocked and horrified that nothing appears.
It's not spawning because you're within a certain distance with no obstructions. Zombies do not spawn if you're sitting on top of where they would appear. Zombies do not appear if there are no players. Zombies do not appear if there are no players within a large distance. That is what the director does. It prevents zombies from spawning in stupid loving places so you can have more zombies where people are going to care.
People cannot grasp this concept. They are so used to spawning a billion loving things and having them instantly start destroying everything in a direct, linear course to them, no matter how many miles away and unreachable they are.

I didn't say remove, I suggested an option to be able to turn the director off.
