How is it not going to be the same game being reviewed? MMOs change. Any MMO player reading a review on an MMO will realize this. The author probably stated "rumors" in reference to how everyone thinks every patch is the miracle patch. They mention the introduction of quests, the community claims content has arrived, patch installs, community is unhappy.

People at this point in time are pessimistic. SE has to prove themselves before people start reading too much into the promises. That's perfectly fair with their track record, and the very fact that tons of people in this thread have stated that the review was fair should be a big red flag for some of you.

Did it come at a bad time? Yes. However, if this patch hadn't been delayed twice, then this review wouldn't have come at such a bad time.

Don't kid yourselves into thinking that this review is what's going to hurt the game. The game is already hurting and you should be glad that they've said they will re-review it later this year AFTER the patches and that it got a higher score than quite a few previous reviews.

Edit: Also, it's kind of hard to say the author hates SE if you actually read the article.
