"We would like to , in the future. consider thinking about this, and at that time we might make another vague reference that we are thinking about it"
It's a great game but it's sad that it looks in ways as if Blizzard is resting on its
success - for example EQ2 at launch had the same laid back "we are EQ" attitude of the devs - then Blizzard hands EQ2 it's ass in sales/subscriptions and since the EQ2 dev team has scrambled like made to to change/add things
and the Blizzard communication has gone the other way
Sigh why also do mmorpg devs take lessons from political candidates in double speak/vague answeres to anything?
Even if it was the opposite of what I wanted to hear I rather hear a dev speaking his/her mind and not worrying about being like a politician
It would make me respect that game more and more apt to stick with it too

Exactly - look at City of Heroes. Rather than good back and look at and fix the huge core broken issues with the game they keep making unwanted changes, monsterous nerfs, recycled content, ect ect

Forums made devs act like politicians. If every word you say can cause a landslide because of a bunch of forumkids, you formulate those answers very carefully. Negative PR can result in bad sales or an angry employer. You do not want to mess with that if you got to feed the wife and the kids.
