Well we used to have a place where we could tell what was on the DEV thoughts, but it's taken away. SO I wrote a fairly longer letter to describe how I feel about some DEV comments, lack thereof of MOtU media currently about, and where I think the 'people behind the game should be heading' (if I believe they are wrong.)
Please remember a couple of things though. KEEP IT CIVIL at all times. Nothing get a thread full of good ideas trashed. And if you choose to want to write a similar letter, just make sure it's professional and well thought out and I can add it to the original post here if indicated.
Hate me if you want, as of right now I'm not letting anyone crack open the build for this. Nope no way. Nada.
I need developers working on the expansion pack, and that only. Again, hate me all you want, but creating a whole new realm takes priority over a broken bag. This is pretty much true of a few of the other issues that crept in today also.
This may change of course, but as of this second, sorry folks, at the very least patch 2.
Start throwing stones in 3...2...
Prelog: I m a big fan of Maj here in the forums, and I also have been very critical to some points, I think we have a good deal of repertoire regarding instances as of this. I want to make a few observation from reading almost every post that is posted from 9mdt to 12a today. EDT.

1. It's fairly clear by his posts that this (ingredient bag fix) more than likely not even be considered being included in the Expansion Part since all the Dev need to finish it up are taken to work on that project. Once the beta goes down and out out (live goes up and done with beta process.), there are going to be bugs everywhere. (My basis is the pure fact that each of the last 4 (dividing the number of new content/the content added for a very-rough figure of 16% so for every ten items included in patch update, roughly 2 out of ten tend to be MAJOR (game changer until fixed) bug, no the small one.-5-6 updates that have game changing alterations preformed. And the MOtU Presale - It was a debacle for the first 7ish days into. Then after this we have the single largest thing the addition to the game, since it's inception and subsequent release. (MOtU) SO statistical you can expect a few+++ major game issues, more bugs you could ever imagine could exist and still be able to play, Oh, and exploits are going to be very common. Sure we get to test it out on the Public Preview" (As Jerry Calls it) Or Private test Server (as other mods call it). SO that's a tad wordy explanation of why no time frame yet. They need work on a Expansion that's due in 90days. I bet we will be doing 95% of the testing as Maj team just isn't large enough to do quality checks on ALL the new stuff. Add to the fact he has newer people. There will be mistakes, and just like they always pray for before laugh "Please God, small bug ok, just no game breaking ones." Maybe that's why releases have trended to be around Mondays now..So they can pray all day Sunday! :p

Here are my doubts in a little easier to read bullets: This is the biggest thing to happen to thing game in almost 8 yrs.There will be lots of problems. I always wait for the first 23-48 hours to re log on, just to avoid any of the issues that might creep up. That way I don't have to take 2 weeks (sometimes longer aka scrolls, and even them had been fix for a hot patch before 31.1 ,there was a post saying that it was fixed..but just one, if someone would like a citation there, please ask and I will try to find it>) to get it fixed.
Speaking of 90 days out, I think it would be reasonable to start dishing all the SS you possibly can, via Turbine PR dept, or here and let us spread it like wildfire on the most combustible field of social networking. Sorry Turbine, having a twitter and Facebook account that receive update whenever someone remembers, doesn't not come near the work of mouth be can bring to bear. But for us to get our rabbits warmed up is some eye candy SS (GOOD ONES) and Carrots.
My two final suggestion are short. Bags that have been were in-fact screwed by this absolutely need to be replaced. Just stick one on every toon, similar to MOtU-gate/birthday/"not too instantly available immediate game bonus perks" Personally, I would pull someone off the deign team and fix this. You know what's less more game breaking (but at the player level) is frustration. If your going to pass this along for 90, all we are going to get is mas, frustrated and the longer it takes, then possibly more people get fed up with it. To say that ings bags aren't game breaking is mistaken & foolish.I can use bag from Lvl 1 to Lvl 20. If you think about them working the way they should seriously diminished our ability to play (ie Crafting, all the diff. types, it effect the numerous thing you can do with the collectable (which include crafting. I personally don't have room to dump my bags into my shared bank tab. Not to mention the rare occurrence things go BYE_BYE every once in a while from the shared bank.
2. Lastly..Maj, we understand that you in QA. So you don't have the people skills of that of Community Specialist, etc, etc. I certainly applaud you effort in the last couple of months, but it still seems like David is getting his but whooped Goliath (turbine). Many of your posts are absolutely welcomed, but you a but rough around the edges if you get what I mean
I really hope you don't think (and 98% say they know, but don't care), that if you pull this off majorly well, it doesn't make the past issues disappear. You making it harder to find by adding million and millions of new possible that can break. I should start a pool to see haw large the Known Issues List grows in June. (Actually I might to that to distract ourselves)
That's it for me, I've been fairly quite about all this as I didn't want to jump on a bandwagon prematurely. Thanks for read, and Maj if you get around to reading
Sincerely Thanks,
Greg
Once again thank for reading. Maybe this will help kick start some new brainstorms. And at the very least, they know exactly what I/we want. Feel free to debate. Or totally kill my rep..Either way it goes I feel good about it.:)
