Then who were all the guys we saw presenting all the features
over 9 months of videos, interviews and diaries?
Promotional employees? No man, it was all the devs themselves
promoting and advertising the game.
Nick Beliaeff : Head Dev - Trion Worlds
Rob Hill: Senior Producer - Trion Worlds
Lars Buttler: Founder dev & CEO - Trion Worlds
etc etc...
No time to ride the line!
You misunderstand what promotional means in this matter.
Promotional simply means the ones who promote the game to others. Basically an advertising department in the company. They select media such as video footage and put it together as an ad. They also are the ones who arrange the interviews and select the questions and such to ask. They also do the editing for these.
With game advertising, sometimes video footage is taken from the release version. Sometimes it's also simply from an alpha or beta per-release version. That is all chosen by the promotional team. That's why with some advertisements you will sometimes see "this footage may not be from actual gameplay" in a corner or such.
The actual development team does not handle the advertising of the product.
They are different departments or teams in the developing 'company'.
With any product there are different departments for different aspects.

Thing is, I don't see any advertisements for things that aren't available. Personally, I don't consider dev diary videos to be advertising, since I know a lot of it is still in the conceptual stages. A lot of things in your list aren't advertised fetaures either, just things that are bugged, less than optimal, or subjective.
It comes down to one fact though, many people expected something different than what they got.
Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.
Wow. So you're the almighty god of games now, and you can decide which ones are good enough and which ones are awful? Just state your opinion, stick to it, but don't try to force it upon everybody else with wild claims.
Now, IN MY OPINION, Defiance is a pretty cool title with awesome gameplay, although I think it lacks a bit of content for now. I'm glad I spent $60 on it, and frankly, if some of you paid hundreds upon hundreds and expected it to be absolutely worth it... don't play any iOs games.
Pimping a game with features that are not presen in the finished product is common and something customsrs have to think about before buying. I remember with Skyrim, they made a big deal about how you could influence the whole economy by killing merchants or burning villages, but none of that was actually in the game.
Is this a joke post? Not once did I try to push my opinion on anyone else. I clearly stated my opinion on an asinine claim. It should be common sense that "in my opinion" isn't needed when someone is obviously giving their point of view. Lastly, understand the meaning of a "wild claim". Maybe then you won't implement it where it doesn't apply.
Sorry, I thought you'd said something along the lines of "What a god awful post. You're talking as if Activision or EA spoils console gamers when reality it's the opposite". So instead of accepting his point of view and his opinion, you simply pushed it aside with a snarky comment and then shoved in your own.
And yes, I think you should make it clear that you're stating your opinion when this thread is full of people, both criticizing and supporting Trion, who think they know more about game development and markeing than they really do.
And I couldn't tell you either.
Also, it wasn't a joke post and I don't think you assumed it was either, let's be honest.
omg what a stupid thread....
have fun sueing trion people....reminds me of when the theif sued the homeowners of the house he broke into, because he hurt himself while robbing them.
People are so fast to sue these days over the dumbest crap...wow
in any case... those who bought the game originally, after checking the advertisement, may have a case if they were all in a same lawsuit. This is similar to No man's sky, just not having the crashes...
Oldest necro I've seen for a while.
