The biggest sticking point for me is the absolute lack of clarity coming with such a vague statement. Does "it's not ready yet" mean it just wasn't ready for the Live Letter, but will still be there in patch 7.3? Or it won't be in 7.3, but 7.4? Or the scope of changes has changed, so there'll be a whole load of new changes to the system, but that won't arrive until 8.0 now? Is the delay because of hardware supply issues again, and out of their control? Or is it because the features are so cool that they're very tech-heavy, so they hope we won't mind a bit more of a wait? Is "it's not ready yet" even talking about the expanded item count, or something else entirely?

The fact they didn't take another 15 seconds to actually clarify the situation further comes across as if they simply didn't care to be there any longer.

I tend to be pretty forgiving of a lot of things when it comes to the game's current shortcomings, but, man - being told to wait months for 7.2, then being told to wait another 4-odd for 7.3, then being told to wait for 7.3's second middle-of-the-night live letter, then waiting 4 hours for the info promised, then being told there IS no info? That's a LOT of really, REALLY bad communication and - worst of all - it's actively and agressively wasting everyone's time with no apologies and no explanations.

This isn't even feeling like "the bare minimum" any more.
