Let's take those high teir NM's for example. Remember how many party members were initially able to fight against them? And then some of the "battle" changes turned the max party members to 8 instead of 15. Guess what? They had to re-do the stats to the NM's, amount of mobs that pop with Dodore, etc. So my guess is that it'll save alot of time in the long run and we'll get more updates/content faster if they mainly focus on getting battle changes and such done first instead of putting things in before and then having to re-do them all over again when something is changed via battle.
Don't start talking about the NM nerf, they didn't have to do that, they chosed to do that, taking away to the players the only challenge they had... but that's a different matter.

I agree with the OP; of course the main update we are waiting for is the one about the battle system, so that we can see some content coming too, indeed i find it weird that we'll have the dungeons before the BS and the job system are perfectly implemented, but well I guess they understood that we need something to do while we are waiting ^^'
On the other hand this game doesn't need only BS and content: what about the UI? You can't say it's perfect, it's the worst UI I've ever seen in any MMO; same goes for the loot system, for the chat logs, for the LS management. Do these things need the BS fixed in order to be redesigned too? I don't think so... still when asking about it the answer is "The BS as a higher priority, so you'll have to wait for that"... ehm... what the f*ck?? o.O is the UI team and the others bringing the BS team coffees an snacks whil they're finishing their work??

I'm ok with waiting for things to be done (even if i'm running out of patience since I'm playing this game for almost a year now) but reading those answers are really making me wander what the hell they're doing.
