November? really?

You can't blame the devs for the timing of their annual leave, many companies give limitations on when staff can take holidays. If you're annoyed the venting needs to go towards piss-poor management. When you can't take holiday at a time of your choice because of low staff numbers it does have such a negative impact on your personal life. However, I think it's pretty lame and unprofessional a company would come out and say "oh, you're going to have to wait because all the staff are on holiday".
This information would have been much more appropriate a few months back, this potentially could have led to players possibly taking Heavensward a little slower rather than trying to pursue all of their goals as quickly as possible. We're paying customers, some people are deluded and think they're much more than that, we're not part of some big SE family. We're just numbers to them, nothing more, and no amount of fan-fest, or QA with the producer is going to change that.

Another part of me doesn't believe staff holiday isn't the reason for this at all . For all we know there could be problems we haven't heard. I think perhaps they have had to take a step back and look at why people are not playing as much as they used to. I'd much prefer them to take their time with updates and give us stuff that is fun and adventurous rather than having hours of filler. I might be wrong there, probably am, it's just a possibility.
