Okay then...

I call bs on his excuse. If thats the issue, just raise gordian weapon to 215 in an earlier hotfix. Didn't they have to do this with bcob weapons as well? If so, do we learn from our mistakes? Also, even if it was valid, it does not explain holding back the first two steps.

Yeah, the 'Okay then...' was meant to be a sarcastic 'yeah, sure that's what it really was' tone. The idea of a team that repeats and recycles previous elements as it is, somehow missing an identical situation to their (re)launch game and not repeating the same solution they did back then makes their official reasoning suspect to me.
