It rarely is that easy. If it was, they could've fixed it by the time they gave that response - so why wouldn't they? There's so much stuff going down behind the scenes, that often if you change something, it affects many other sections of the code; especially in an MMO. Which means a higher risk for bugs, which in turn means more work for the QA and obviously for the programmers as well.

If there's one thing I learned during the last few years, it's that in game development, nothing ever is as simple as it seems.
