Well, everyone has had a chance to say their peace tonight (today..?) and we did get somewhat of a mod reply in the other thread. More than a generic "Please refrain from derailing others' threads" they actually did say "We are aware of the many concerns.." relating to CnB. Sad to say I'm happy at least hearing that much; I wasn't honestly sure if they were aware of much at all.
I really believe that come September, or maybe even 4th week August, there will be an official announcement and an update to the situation. So many accounts like mine are in limbo because of this fiasco and (I would think that) it's become enough of a headache for the top brass to step in.
Because of the extreme frustration and anxiety this has caused all players involved, I think the official announcement needs to be made by a Square Enix official and not a community representative. We do deserve that much.
