Okay, this is more like it. I'll be honest, half the reason I was so discouraged by this "update" was the radio silence from the Devs. Really guys, this sort of thing helps; it's a lot easier to forgive a screw up if you know it's actively being worked on, and have received an apology.
Thanks for the feedback - we're working as hard as we can to make sure there's transparency for you all.
