I read the information on your link,,,,,, you can thank the people of Rift for that. Who complained day in day out on the forums of lack of communication from the Trion to their subscribers. A sob story on why they released content erly that does not work. will not cut it for myself and many other veteran gamers. Trion is not a new developer and hence, giving the go ahead on patches that are not up to par is not excusable. TRUE, they will fix their mistakes over time unlike funcom or other developers. But the fact they released the patch to early is a mistake they made many times in rift and should be something they learned from. Minor issues from trion are such things as 0 stats on items to some quests being buggy. But entire crit errors that give you a bonus 1000 ego points then bug you out where you can't pick up loot... swap builds / layouts or alternativly you grind your but off for four hours only to DC and relog to find all your work has been rolled back.... Now that to me is something that has been release way before it was ready. anyone in the last beta could have told you and would probably agree, the game was not close to being ready. A deadline to fill pockets is always a hard thing to contend with when developing a game were big investors are conserned, and i think that is the true reason Trion has made such a gross error putting out the game to soon. Don't get me wrong, i have greit faith in Trion as i have seen their polished products and know full well what the team is capable of so as much as it sounds like it,,, do not take it as a full bash at the guys and what they do. Just the poor decisions they tend to make reguarding the readyness of their products.
