Out of touch? PLL

[ForteNightshade]

Dawntrail released on 2nd July.
So 4 month would be around 2nd November. But they said 'mid November'. So it's also again more than 4 month, and then again with no fun stuff to do, for the majority of people, until maybe next year spring. (At the moment it seems like it)

I really don't understand what is going on here. Can they be so much out of touch? Or do they want to kill the game, and then say: Hey forget about all your progress and come into our new MMO, or whatever. Idk :c

16 weeks or four months would have been October 2nd. A mid November release puts the 7.1 delay at 19-20 weeks. Five months is insane for a game that already stretched its content extremely thin on a 16 week schedule.
