I don't know how long it takes to make and test a new potion or rod or cake or whatever, or if it's even done by the same team that makes "real" content, but I'd much rather my epic level gnomish druid (with levels in Hierophant) be riding his owlbear mount, spear in hand, through the entrance into his stronghold. And most importantly, all of his feats, enhancements and spells working properly.
And I remind you, a lot of that can also cost Turbine Points, so you'd still make bank.
The "fixing things" really is the priority, I mean, we have year-old bugs, but I kind of got carried away there.
Thanks!
