That first premise is flatly false. Ignored reports of problems on test have caused a lot of grief. The second premise is just obtuse - the only deadlines they have are self-imposed. They are doing what they want, when they want because they can. I'll admit - it is keeping it interesting.

Software isn't easy, but their approach to how they handle situations, leaves them looking like rank amateurs. On one side, they have customers that want 100% PvP glitch-full servers; on the other, they have customers that want 100% glitch-free servers. Being the the latter category, I'm unimpressed.
