That's a good one, because we all know a real man would quit a good job that he loves because some people onan internetforum are insulting him!

You are either TH or his biggest fan ever. I will congratulate them when they do something right, I have in the past and HOPE to in the future. If they do something wrong, they need to be held accountable, and frankly, he put his foot in it this time whether you want to admit it or not. He is a talking head who is guilty of one thing...speaking out of turn of his bosses. He said he would let us know about the delay and hasn't. You don't feel it should be something to be held to? A real man wouldn't give his word about something and back down from it either.
Can you honestly not see the error or the slap in the face this awful Friday Feature was? Three new wallpapers, two of which any boob with Photoshop and SWG could have made, and one which has no actual bearing on JTL at all? I have heard of fans, but by God man, you are being downright delusional. Let's see what other services you pay for....these are guesses mind you, cell phone, home phone, cable, electricity, water, gas, insurance mortgage and car? If one of these companies went back on something they said you would be receiving, can you say you would not be irate?
Face it, this is another service that WE pay for so a certain degree of responsibility goes with the service rendered. We pay for a place to unwind, we pay for customer service(Which has been improving) and we pay for some form of communication with the team who brings us these things. How many months ago was it that TH's boss(wonder why they gave him a boss and not Q when he was running the show?) Calandryl said that communication would be improving.
Face it, before this patch hit, the team was well and truly on the right path to making this game infinitely better. Aside from the GCW changes, this patch was a HUGE backstep. Everyone loved the increased spawns on the last patch, the increase in loot drops was bringing things back in line, economically, fun wise, etc etc. We get this last set of patches and things go to hell. Spawns dry up, loot no longer drops etc etc. Sure, there is an alledged fix coming Tuesday, but we know how that goes?
Yes, I take the good with the bad, but I also do not look at SWG through rose colored lenses. You have consistently put people down for decsension to the Community Relations staff for no other reason then YOU think we are wrong. Things have not gone how Calandryl or Tyrant have said they will, yet we are supposed to take it on the chin, right? If it were a free service provided by SOE, I would tend to agree, but given that we are paying them for the best service they can offer, WE feel WE deserve more. That is not any more wrong than you thinking you get just enough. They do not need you to defend them anymore than the players need me to defend their opinions...these are just mine. Please back slowly away from the soapbox and I will do the same.

Yeah, you're right. Since things didn't go exatly the way YOU wanted, the team is doing a horrible job and ought to be flogged. Schedules change all the time and they are not obligated to do anything but provide you with a service, which they are.

Again, I said it is not about you or me or what I think, but when a general consensus is they screwed things up, THAT is what people, other than you or I actually think. Who said flogged or any form of harsh treatment such as that? Schedules do indeed change all of the time, and part of the service of anyone who is part of a schedule change is communication regarding said schedule change. A simple "We had to push it back because of..."whatever reason would have sufficed AND been TH holding to his word.
It is not about schedule changes, or flogging the Devs here, regardless of what you may think. It is about a simple thing, I tell you one thing and go back on it, you are going to be well within your reasoning to be upset. The anger should be expected. I don't downplay anyone's right to be angry with the team for this publishes few missteps, and in all honesty, more things were broken than were fixed. Again, I love the GCW changes, but hate the loot changes, the buggy faction base fighting, the unbalanced nature of the bases et al. Funny that all of these things were tested, found flawed and still pushed live. This is after the fiasco with the rubberbanding publish where Tyrant said...
"Every publish has a two week testing cycle, 4-10 days of which is on the public TC, dependent on the element. We will not commit to a actual ship date until we know the publish no longer has a known show-stopping issue. Which is why you won't get actual publication notice most of the time until the day before it happens."
"Friday Feature March4th- New Desktop Wallpaper!" I seriously thought it was a joke. I was like haha TH you old dog...
but 1280x is the biggest 
Fine. You (and everyone else) have every right to be upset. Go for it. It doesn't accomplish anything. At least you're a lot more rational about it thansome people.

" Would have gone a long way toward calming some of the anger even though it isn't what everyone wants to hear.
The straight answer on CU is that it has gone through revision and some redirection. The previous versions simply didn't solve the problems we wanted to solve and didn't improve the core combat system as much as we wanted to.
What are you talking about? That site doesn't even mention Tyrant. And the latest Dev post is from nearly a month ago. (Feb 11th)

D'oh! I meant that thread didn't mention it. I'm not familiar with the site layout, so I didn't look around much. Hmmm... I hope it's just rumors and not true. He seemed to be very no nonsense and heading the teamin the right direction.

Could be BS who knows, I know the communication on the last 3 weeks here has died.
