I think it's a little ridiculous that we've had to wait almost 2 months for them to fix this quest. I don't understand why they think this could be fun for most of us. And we're paying for this game! Thankfully, I have a fun guild, and like to help them out and play with them. But, if the techs don't get it up soon, I'm going to have to rethink my membership.
I think it's great that they're working on stuff like customization of avatars, but to make that more of a priority than what is causing hundreds of people to wait around until the Boss Quest is fixed, just seems wrong.
On the bright side, I have significantly improved my sailing skills while I have been waiting for them to fix this quest. Widow Makers are #9 in overall ships sunk! Yay!
