    It was a letter only about Auto-Attack, how much did you want him to write on the subject?
    All 3 of those are considerably longer than this letter.

    I was under the impression that this letter was to shed a bit of light on some patch 1.18 details, not really just an Auto-Attack dedication with a sentence or two on the remaining details.

    I'm sorry, you're just wrong. The first link had 378 words, the second link had 402 words, and the third link had 522. The new letter has a total of 512. Like I said it is COMPARABLE to what we have gotten in the past, especially in the middle of a new phase of work. Only one of the letters I posted had MORE words than the new letter. So I say again, with gusto, you're wrong. This is not the shortest letter we have ever gotten.

    You may want to consider the content of the letters. This had a lot of filler. Try reading them instead of just copy/paste into MS Word and doing a Word Count lol

    Though that was really besides the point... The primary concern here is that I was expecting a "hey, here's some details on what 1.18 has to offer" but it was really just auto-attack details (and few), which is fine, just not what I was expecting considering present circumstances.

    I'm not here to talk about the content of the letters, though how a shorter letter can have more content is beyond me, as is what you consider "filler". All I wanted to do is point out that your statement about how short the letter was, was inaccurate. Your expectations are your opinions and you can't make facts up based on them.
