I can't be mad at this. It makes sense. Projected change notes may make everyone happy. But, if we gave you a list a month ago of what was going to change, you would expect it to be live by now, and when it didn't, you would be mad because you are waiting for the patch. If something during the development process happened where we could not give you what we had previously mentioned, people would explode. Nothing is set in stone until it goes live, and even then it changes. The bottom line is that the staff is trying to create the best possible server. We listen to people's opinions when they are presented correctly and via the appropriate venues, and not in a rant filled tangent of a post in a public forum. I have gone out of my way dozens of times asking players for their point of views on particular subjects and have used those opinions to make changes to systems put in place.

I understand the mentality of not wanting to over commit but it is too late for that already. You made a change to the server and everyone was having a good time. You took out the exp bonus and then said don't worry a fix is coming that is big for the server. If you wanted to be vague then you have the fix implemented at the same time the exp is taken out. So for the duration of these changes you don't have the luxury of being vague and keeping people happy.

Not wanting to over commit is a lesson you can take going forward but that ship has sailed this time around.

The mentality right now is I don't want to have to level on a low population no group server when everyone else got an easier ride. I can just wait and big things are coming soon. Every week that goes by with nothing some people lose interest.

Even if no change was coming at least a response acknowledging this would put people to a decision to either stick with the server or not instead of this limbo stage people like myself are in. The people that don't have interest will leave anyways but you end up losing additional players that intended to stick around.
