I wasn't referring to a full-on reveal, but hinting at a lack of communication. The last thing we heard from them was that they had 2 designs that they were deciding from.

Let's be honest, the only people who are tunning in the Live Letters are a small minority when compared to the rest of the player base, there are even less people tunning in the dev blogs. So somewhere in those they could show concept art, or just discuss where they are in the project. It's a simple matter of communication or lack thereof.

Besides, people have seen the Au'Ra concept art from back when they were still in the works and the hype for them wasn't diminished, but it actually grew.

And just because something is standard doesn't mean is good. I, like the rest of you, am paying monthly to play this game. So I don't think that me asking for more communication on a project I am very invested in is in any way a problem. Just have a short update on the dev blog about them. By this time there should be a finalised concept art that would be good to show in such a mini blog and say at which point are they in the pipeline.
