Thread: 2.1 Delayed?

Rather have smooth running content with as little bugs as possible rather then some cluster of coding that explodes when you enter an instance. I can wait another month for things to be running smoothly. Everyone here crying about the delay reminds me of little kids asking their moms for candy before dinner and getting rejected. "MOM BUT I WANT IT NOWWWWW."

It's the fact that the child knows the candy is there, yet gated behind the requirement of a dinner that doesn't compare to the candy sweetness that causes the I WANT IT NOW mentality. The live letters are the candy that SE places ever so out of reach, yet continually reminds us of their existence every month with brilliant screenshots, art pieces and in-game previews. Most of which are delightfully unexplained, which allows gamers to ponder and marvel at possibilities.

Now say if the dinner was equally as delectable as the candy, then perhaps the child wouldn't be as demanding. For many players that isn't the case right now, as you should consider that 2.1 is not just a content patch. It contains many improvements, UI additions and extra activities that the current end-game lacks for many players.

One could say that the amount of time they are spending polishing and adding to 2.1 is a sign that the current 2.0 has many elements that are lackluster and need something more. Such as the current state of Duty Finder and the growth of rude/abusive playerbases.

I'm fine with waiting myself, but even the most patient child would get annoyed with the constant teasing of something better My only gripe is waiting 6 months to get my own house. Also typing this reply has made me hungry.
