Endpoint to get Role Members

[anna-rmrf]

It would be very ideal if there was an endpoint to get Guild Members of a certain role (or even just the guild members IDs) instead of getting all Guild members (which is very taxing if a guild is super large) just to filter out most of them and only get those who happen to have the role id

There is already a user-only endpoint /guilds/{guild.id}/roles/{role.id}/member-ids that the client uses. Is there any reason why this is not exposed to bots?

I asked Mason around the time the endpoints got added:

I asked again in the last stage event and unfortunately the status hasn't changed: https://gist.github.com/Stalruth/fb384bf118be83a00d9f5ae7ab89a87b

Have there been any updates re. bots getting access to the new-ish role members, member ids, and member counts endpoints? I think it's been asked before but it was a while ago and nothing happened, and people ask about getting role member lists in DDevs sometimes

Mason: Member role endpoint is not performant enough to be made widely available. Bots team needs to fix them. In future, bots team wants to make these endpoints more available by default.

Use case:
We have an economy system, and we want to give points to all members in a role.
Currently using /guilds/{guild.id}/members and filtering the list client side by role id, which is surly more of a performance hit, on both server and client than /guilds/{guild.id}/roles/{role.id}/member-ids
