To think that an amateurial (not to mention lackluster and underfeatured) webpage is anywhere similar or comparable to a system that needs to work in a complex environment as a MMORPG (without causing conflicts, bugs or crasges) and to meet commercial quality standards is as ridiculous as is gets.

And lol at comparisons with patches from other MMORPGs that are almost entirely made with content that was in development since way before release.
Couldn't have said it any better.

Especially when you have to work out the kinks in the complex coding that the earlier programmers were using to add tweaks or change the systems completely.

Its like going over a past-employee's paperwork after they have been fired the day before. You have to scan through and see what to take out and where to add in.
