Ok lets play devils advocate with your terms as well then.

SE adds tons of content, raid dungeons, level cap increases, new areas with new monsters. Players still complain the combat system is slow and unwieldy.

Good job they now have 10x the stuff to rebalance before even looking at anything else ever again. Making combat functional "this has far more to do with Auto attack if your interested in a discussion outside of just being ignorant" and fun. What has taken them a few months could take them 3-4x as long if they brought out large quanitities of battle content prior to the battle update.

So fast forward a couple months and people would be whining about the exact oposite but with a much dreary timeline on the subject as to where this direction allows them to follow through without the need to worry about balancing content several more time during combat updates.
