This is really ridicculous.
If you remember they did indeed have something different in mind for it and given that XIV released largely unfinished and needed to be fixed, clearly they weren't going to keep dropping feature after feature into the game.

When the New Managerial Team took over, things changed. We were also supposed to have gotten Hamlet Defense by early 2011, but that changed as well. It's pretty simple really if you took more than a second to think about it,
