In regards to the lack of communication on the NA side over the update issues

These standards. ISO, SOX, CMMI are not medical field only standards. SE is an international company so they are not required by any means to fulfill them. Don't mistake best practices with the fact that one of the companies I worked at as being medical. These practices are followed at the State Dept of Education which is a non profit organization. Why? Because they are best practices. You're right I dont decide them just the entire software development standards used by most every North American company. So try to act high and mighty but SE does not measure up to some of the smallest standards American companies hold themselves to. You can white knight all you want but trying to pull arguments about computing basics methodologies and policies you have no experience with and have probably never read or tried to implement yourselves is just armchair quarterbacking and white knighting SE. The fact that you don't know what Change Management is or does, which is obvious by the fact that you don't realize that my experience is relevant, shows you probably have a minute understanding of an SDLC or a proper release cycle at an actual professional company and you are probably someone who works out of your basement writing code with your friends. That or you work at a company so small they don't even register well enough to be traded publicly.

Secondly, the "new content" provided in this update was kupowers and meeble burrows. Neither of which were game changers and none of you will see the rewards for at least a month if the place they suggest the good drops comes from is the final boss. Its been three days you havent honestly made enough "progress" for it to be countable. Not everyone cares about this stuff as much as you official forums casual players do and most of us would prefer being able to continue content that truly matters like NNI, Legion and Prov that you probably aren't good enough to get into or complete anyways. Also had they listened to the outcry from their fanbase and rolled back immediately this issue wouldnt still be around and no progress would be lost. Really the biggest issue is how did this release get past their QA team and the test servers without any of this being noticed. The latter is more believable with <100 people actually active on there regularly.

Show me some IT credentials at a real company and maybe I will take you seriously because you are obviously unfamiliar with the common standards being pushed on companies across the United States at a bare minimum and some of the standards such as ISO are international standards.
