well, you bring up alot of good points. Unfortunately your bringing up good points for a horribly broken game whose odds of surviving a full year are fairly slim given their player base. AC had more players and look what happened to them. I think what it boils down to is that because they are making so little money, the amount of resources put into the game are minimal. This means that they need to produce the results, without the manpower to do it. Dangerous thing to do and is usually only done what a Dev knows the game is dying, but is trying to keep it alive just long enough to push out their next product. Thats what i think is happening when i look at how they are acting.
