I'd rather wait 10 months for many changes rather than force them into implementing them now. Look at the market wards. On paper a simple feature like Item Search and buying from a menu seems simple enough. It took them 2-3 major patches to fix it as much as they have now - which still is less than optimal and runs at a glacial pace.

Fact of the matter is, when they say things cannot be done with the current server structure they really mean it would be a huge hassle with all the workarounds and hoops they'd have to go through to get even basic, bare-bone functionality in and even then it would be all glitchy. For the MW they had to make an exception, because it is an absolutely essential piece of the game that they could not hope to charge any amount of subscription without having it working.

So yes, I'd rather wait until 2.0 for them to easily implement much more functional features rather than spend much more time and resources now trying to implement what would end up being a bad imitation at best.
