Lmao.
I think they probably got annoyed when there were major complaints about AST all throughout HW, then people alternatingly complained about BRD and MCH, which led to the historic physical ranged arms race. Also people complained about PLD all throughout HW.

Mind you, most of those complaints were justified because HW balance was really not that great. AST was a dumpster fire on release, MCH was also pretty bad if I recall correctly, and PLD basically didn't exist because of DRK. Then the pre-release complaints about SB WHM lilies was probably what caused them to snap and tell us that we get no more info.
