It took DCUO darn near 15 months to get its feet under itself, and you know what happened in those 15 months? They went through 5 Lead Developers like they were candy. Between firing some and others just leaving, they had to keep revamping the Lead and sections of the remaining team (post layoffs) to get the right things in place. Well, as right as things can ever get at SOE, anyway.
I can't speak for the professional experience of the Defiance team, but I can say that compared to Trion's Rift team, these guys are working like people brand new and fresh out of college.
