At no stage during any of this were anyone's pleas ignored. As I explained to you we have been forwarding everyone's feedback on the matter, but that does not mean the solution to the Technical issues suddenly magics itself up suddenly or can be solved faster as a result because people start shouting and getting rowdy at the messengers.
It has been worked on this entire time and is an ongoing effort. Nobody has said otherwise, so im not really sure where that notion came from. When I said "no news", it didnt mean Naval EC suddenly had stopped being an active development. It means there as no detailed update I could give other than that what I have already said and that its still being worked on and still has not been resolved.
The whole point of this was, given we are providing you with all in information we can at the moment on EC as well as forwarding your feedback on, regardless of the frustration on the wait whilst the issues are resolved there just isn't a justification to start getting more and more frustrated with us as it isn't going to speed the fixes up.
On the one hand you are saying if the communication stops on this then its worse, whilst at the same time (not directed just at you here) what we are able to post is just mocked and used against us then there really is no real favorable outcome here until the issues within the mode are fixed and can return and there is sufficient progress to report.
If our posts are just treated as jokes, then its better we dont post on the matter and wait for official announcements when there is more substance to provide.
Believe me none of us are under any illusion that people are not going to to be emotional and disagree with us or something way say. Its perfectly respectable and understandable for these things when it remains a constructive conversation as it shows that someone does at the very least care about the subject matter. Indeed it is my job and my fellow colleagues jobs to man the front lines and keep everyone informed on things. But that does not mean there needs to be a total relinquishment of basic respect in discussions. Particularly when things slip away from disagreement and frustration to actually just personal mockery and deliberately going out of ones way to make a point of trying to create a target (again, not speaking specifically just to you here. Just a broader picture).
Anyways, after all of this. Hopefully we will have some more news to share on the matter soon
