Guessing days to take off for content you guessed would happen like 2 months from now is absolutely the stupidest thing I ever heard from a player.

I still think there are communication issues, yes I think gearing needs to change especially for alts, but your primary complaint here is 100% on you and this is pretty embarrassing. I predicted before DT ever came out we wouldn't have a 7.3 ulti, they never once hinted or mentioned it. Seriously. Why would you even think its coming? There isnt even an established pattern for ultis BESIDES the x.1 patch and even then I would never assume it.
keep assuming things. Have you ever put together or been in a HC static for an ultimate? it takes weeks to months to find compatible players, not to mention the actual prep time we spend getting ready once the static is put together. On top of that, some people work jobs that require 3-4 months of advanced notice to take PTO. So yeah, it's definitely not a me problem. And while it's easy to say all this about our expectations/assumptions for a 7.31 ultimate, there was several things from previous comments and their own history that gave enough credit to a 7.31 ultimate.
