Not only did it post before I was done, it double posted. Damnit!

Tiggs or TH or whoever, print this out and hand it to all the idiot bigwigs. they can read through this all they want and try to tear it apart, but the logic is there. there is absolutely no reason that we should not get a real smuggling system and we should get it NOW. we've done all the concept work, you just have to do the coding. now get to work.

Spot on mate, 100% Spot on .
Lets see how they respond to this debacle they gave us after the weekend. I'm expecting something to be said Monday, if not its just bad buisness.

Sorry to 'argue' with you, but it is obviously not beneath them, as that is what they are planning to implement.
If it was beneath them, they wouldn't do it.

It's not beneath their level of training and technical abilities.
The people that have those skills are the coders and programmers.
They can only do what they have been told to do.
The people in charge are the ones that have no clue.
They see it as 'if we $pend all our time on revamp$ and fixing bug$, that won't generate new player$'.
They think they need 2-3 new expansions each year to continue the flow of money to their pockets.
I do understand that they wanted the movie tie-in, and that's fine, but what they should have done was combine both expansions into one and released it with the DVD, or started much sooner and done it with the theater release.
Monetarily, the theater release would be better, but functionally, the DVD release is more practical.
I'd bet that LA/George/whomever really wanted the two combined but were told it was technically impossible to do it by theater release, so now we have two expansions.
As I said in another post, if they would stop the expansions for a year and do massive bug fixes and 3-4 quality revamps for the professions that need it most, plenty of old subscribers would return (even with the CU still in place), then they would be in a financial position to do 1-2 great, or 2-4 medium sized (or some combo of) expansions per year, and still have money and people left to further revamp and fix bugs.
I fail to see how they can not comprehend that.

Wait, wait, wait, WAIT. If it's bad business to not say anything by monday, how can you possibly expect anything but?!?
The OP summed up my views perfectly, this "revamp" proposal *isn't* better than the status quo. At least now we're (supposedly) next in line. Hell, leaving everything the way it is and letting us slice locked briefcases would be more exciting news than this pile of horsecrap. Modbot this!
