Public Companies?

It's actually a detriment to SE to release minimal information and then let players speculate on it for a long time. Sure, it builds up anticipation, but on the other hand it encourages all this rampant theorizing that almost always turns out to be way over-the-top.

SE should release information about new features in complete form and players would be much more satisfied when it does come out. Letting players speculate with minimal information is a sure recipe for underwhelming then when the material is finally released.

Yup, if left to their own devices people will imagine a building that you purchase, upgrade like the BoF II house with a lot of work, recruit NPCs to, Install shell stands, player quarters, airship docs, then airships, ships, basically their own hangout and mini town.

Then what they get is a npc to talk to that takes them to tha company's hamlet defense for a mini-besieged and they rage.

I agree with you there, it would probably be better if they did that.

Partially the players' fault for hoping for things that may not be. I try not to expect anything so I won't be let down. I don't mean that in a negative way.. I'm sure some people may misinterpret that. Hoping and expecting certain things for something you know nothing about usually ends up in a let down. I just prefer to wait and see what I'm given then suggest any changes that may make it better.

But them telling us what we're getting when they announce it, as you said, would probably get rid of the whole "hoping and expecting" thing. Thinking about it more.. I'm sure there'd be some cons to them doing that too.. Hmm..
