SE, the dev team needs some more resources.

there's also the issue of time too. they have a rigid schedule to keep with the patch update schedule and a new expansion on a 2 year cycle. i don't think any delay in that timeline will be acceptable to most people.

With more people, keeping on the patch cycle should not be an issue. Ideally they would be implementing fixes to, say, character models into the planned releases with enough time for it to pass through quality assurance and testing. I don't have any insight into how they do QA but applying resources to fix things would take the patch cycle into account. It would have to.

What players might have to brace for is even with more resources the fixes would not make it into a release coming out in the immediate future. The test cycle still needs room to happen.
