It's not that they won't be addressing it, but that they aren't wasting any time propping up a poor system that's going to need to be replaced in its entirety. It may be inconvenient now, but it's the fastest way to get something that works well from the ground up, and I'd much prefer that.

Take a look at the current Search system they have. They tried propping that up with some convoluted "seek" functionality that builds on the existing, inadequate system... And frankly, it was a waste of time. No one really uses it, nor would be acceptable to keep Search the way it is for the relaunch. Ultimately, it was pointless to even try adding features to something no one wants to use. It has to be overhauled.

It's the same with the Linkshell system. They could go to great lengths to squeeze in an extra feature or two, but if it's not designed to deal with kicking someone who's offline, or requiring people to be in the same zone to perform administrative tasks, then what's the point? If it has to be completely replaced to make it work right, then don't waste time on the old system.
