They can't just keep using these same excuses for everything players want.
I think these problems SE often refer to are far more common than most here seem to think.

The majority of mmo dev teams are pretty damn silent compared to SE. SE actually directly address things players say and ask for several times a year, with most mmo dev teams you're lucky if it's even once. I think it's very naive to think that it's only SE who experience frequent limitations due to an older engine or server capability.

There are features in WoW that didn't make it to the game until after several years of players asking. Do people really think each time it was Blizzard forgetting the community existed? That not even once they had to put off some updates because the engine or the servers at the time couldn't handle it? The game even has a history of getting ahead of its own engine. The end boss of one of the expansions had several phases with separate hp pools because the combined hp pool literally could not exist in the game. With all their resources and experience they still clearly experience limitations like SE do, the difference is they rarely openly admit it. So the conversation players tend to have is "Blizzard don't read feedback" and not "Blizzard keep giving us the same excuses".

I know it's tiresome to get the same answers over and over. Trust me I too would love to hear an answer other than "server/engine limitations". I would even prefer to hear about a different limitation. It is especially annoying when it's a long time frequently requested feature. But this idea that only SE have these excuses or reasons is incredibly incorrect. It just appears so because most dev teams abstain from commenting about limitations until after they have conquered them and have the new features ready. So the focus is on being able to experience the new feature and not why they can't have it.
