I'm not blaming players who have been trying since patch and have not completed... I'm blaming the players who started, and decided not to do it at all... Don't they factor in the percentage of people not done yet? The people who said they weren't doing it?

And the problem with them saying themselves that not as many people as they expected finished Animus, is that they did they themselves that not many people will have an Animus before the new patch.
I still don't understand how you can blame players. They're not at fault for content that doesn't hold their interest.

Personally I'm quite happy for them to be taking their time with the next stage and attempting to get it right.
