And people have a right to complain about it because it would mean that SE is starting to slack off and get behind their own schedule. Roadmaps aren't designed based on what they "assume", roadmaps are based on current development progress.
Yeah, current progress. But unforseeable things happen that can change timelines and create delays. This is something all of us gamer vets should know and be used to when it comes to game development, especially MMOs. And while I think it is within the customer's right to question the reason as to why things are delayed, if and when that happens, they do not have the right to complain as if it is somehow out of the ordinary for a game development schedule to get behind. Not to mention that it is completely disrespectful considering how fast and efficiently they have been redesigning this game from the ground up at breakneck speeds.
