Let me just point out this part of the director's post:
What I wished to convey was that we will be implementing a system to build on R/M/E weapons, so please have them in your possession, and there was no other meaning intended.
In regards to this system, the outline has been finished; however, we have yet to test if what we have planned can be realized and if we can secure the proper amount of manpower to continue it. We are at a point in time right now where it's difficult to explain the details, so please allow us to discuss this another day.
In other words, they don't know what they're doing, they don't know if it'll work and they don't even know IF they can do it due to lack of manpower.
It has NOTHING to do with being elitist. It has EVERYTHING to do with having been slapped across the face not just once, but multiple times in a row by SE, and seeing our work and effort being made worthless.
