Letter from the Producer LIVE Part X: Will the netcode issue be honestly addressed?

[Billie21]

[extrapolations on possible hints droped by Yoshi P about the delay issue]

I so hope you are right. But if it was being worked on, I really can't see any reason why they wouldn't adress it explicitly. Fear of driving away potential players who would take it as a "I'm a non JP player, I will get lag, no point in trying the game"?
The only other reason I can see is that they don't know yet if they will be able to fix it. Even then, saying "working on it, not sure it's possible" would most definitely apease at least part of the players, and go a long way in restauring trust in those that have lost it/are losing it, and it wouldn't even bind them to a promise they might not keep.
