This is in THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. That was ALL the letter was going to be focused on from the start. We have been given teasers of the quest hubs and the dungeons already in other letters and this time, he wanted to focus on Auto Attack. Sometimes we get an letter that focuses on broad changes: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...805-20-2011%29, and other times we get a letter focusing on just a teaser: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...805-02-2011%29.

I don't see how this is so SHOCKING to the community. It is the same MO that Yoshi has picked up since the very beginning.
your a little defensive. He never said hubs would be in place by 1.18, he said its coming soon. I understand they wanted to do the AA video, but i think people would have enjoyed the dungeon video. He goes out of his way to say the priority of 1.18 is the implementation of AA, he also mentions dungeons, and it taking more time. I just think its a little optimistic to think there will be much other content besides what they actually said will be in place in 1.18. It could well have hubs, but there is no text that says hubs is planned for 1.18, and there is text saying that AA is the focus of 1.18 and that they still have to work on one of the dungeons, so that much is likely.
