Only a person that is either extremely naive or simply has no clue about programming would think that the late addition of a feature which requires a rewrite of core components that are a decade old would be an easy undertaking.

If SE is anything like Blizzard, the code of eld won't be documented very well, they won't have ancient versions of the game in a running state and most programmers from the beginning will either not remember how they did it or are no longer around.

Fact is: they most likely do not want to touch a decade old code unless absolutely necessary.
Especially not in a situation where they have to divert significant resources for a non critical problem while already being behind on content delivery.
