The topic is, if I'm not getting it wrong, that some of the upcoming features you won't be able to enjoy with friends till 2.2. I was referring to what you asked in the OP. They just can't work fast enough to let you, me and everyone else play these new features with friends right off the bat as they implement them into the game. That's the bottom line. Trust me, I'm as impatient to play with friends but, eh, what can you do?

They have to cater to the widest possible audience, have to thin out their resources so everyone will have something, be it in small or big increments, to enjoy as new content is introduced. Or to put it in other words, to keep everyone happy, even though that's realistically impossible in any MMO. Someone's expectations are always going to be let down, whether this game is aimed for many or a few with a distinct taste in their MMOs.

If you are, as you said, never going to use the system (Duty Roulette) in 2.1 then I guess you'll have to settle for what it is, ignore it, and just wait till 2.2. Personally, I can't wait for player housing to be in the game (not the FC houses) and I am disappointed that we won't see them in 6 months or so but, it is what it is.
