when you pushed the CU out early. All of the bugs, the waypoint issues, the PvE imbalance, Respec issues, were raised in TC long before you went live. The day the particle effects started for getting on a mount everyone complained, and we were told flat out it would not change. Well, now (if my server ever comes back) it is.
It is just sheeer arrogance on the part of the development team that led us to this point.What did they say at the Dev breakfast - we would get used to it and the exit polls were positive? Arrogance.
The polls were positive for two reasons. One, most of the players PvP'ed in TC. Two, most of the players who hated TC never went back, and many in fact quit the game. The result is the polls were horribly skewed.
But they told the devs what they wanted to hear, and the rest of us who tried to offer constructive crticism were flamed by the other testers and insulted by the devs.
How does Sony plan to try and mend fences?

I used to be a tester.. I am talking I go back to EQ 1 test days.... I gave up after I figured they don't listen
to the testers. Maybe they pick a group of brownnosers to listen to.. but that serves no purpose as they
are just gonna say yes to anything.

Actually the forum poll and others on other gaming websites indicated that there was strong disfavor for the CU.

True. They did not pick people who have been vocal and critical of both the game revamp and SOE mismanagement.
