"How is anyone fine with the 4-month patch delivery schedule?"
Because a gradual slowdown is less noticeable. i remember when we got 2 dungeons per patch but when they reduced it to one to focus on the quality of the game we took it at face value. At this point it seems more like less effort for the devs rather than slowing for polish. That and fanatics that will defend a company make for a bad situation that will more than likely mirror WoW's gradual fall. Oh well, at least the music was pretty sweet.
