Then you need to wait til approximately next June.

I understand your reply....but that honestly doesn't mean anything. If SE came out and said "Ok guys, next June the game WILL be up to snuff, and we'll start charging then, the new expansion pack will be out the month after, and the PS3 release will be in the same month"....then I'd honestly not give a damn, and I think that while a lot of people would quit right now if they read that, those same people would come back. Personally, I'd keep playing till then, and for the people that are die-hards, just getting a statement like that would give them some form of hope as to what in the hell SE plans to do....some direction they're taking with the game, etc.

People like concrete things....things that make them feel all warm and fuzzy, things that are at least 90% certain. Vague letters detailing the things you're "looking into" and "thinking about" doing, don't really make people feel good at all....the game was released with that mindset, or close to it....and I think people are just tired of vague. Releasing concept art you have for class armor is great....but I think people would be more excited if we saw the models of the armor, and a message stating "We're going to implement them in the soonest patch possible for you guys to go out and get!!" Otherwise it just feels like a tease, a hope that good things are coming....and frankly, that's what we've been hoping and waiting for since launch, I know I have.

Yoshi-san is talking to the community more, sure, but he really isn't very much more concrete on anything than Tanaka and the previous team were....at least I haven't seen anything that made me feel otherwise.
