Is it company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a *cupcake*? You can use the indefinite article 'a' *cupcake*.

+1. Though I agree that locusts may be a better metaphor.

I cringe every time I see a developer say something like this, in any title lol.

Hmm... why not? Hire more people and the work can be done. On my end of things, I see overwhelmed developers who cannot handle the current situation very well (If they are able to handle the situation well, as a different opinion - my counter-question: "Why is my class still broken (medic)?"). I mean, yeah... there are always these people that complain about everything.. no question. This time, I feel the need for more DEVs in Carbine Studios. Now, I know.. the upcoming argument: "Who will pay them?" My answer: "I do not care, I am just a consumer." Sounds like a "get ouf of jail, free card"-thing, I know. Still, fact: People want to be entertained. They do not want to encounter negative emotions in terms of bugs. Lack of content is something that can be handled and pushed for several months, but bug fixes should be pushed asap. Slowing all this down, speaks a differnet language and not a good one/the best one, in my pov.

I was not excited by the sub based system because of new promised content, I was excited by the prospect of a game with a lack of f2p and the associated people in a genre I enjoyed playing. if you only bought into the game because you (generic you,not implying YOU you) thought the mnonthly drops would keep you from being "bored" mmo's really arent a game for you. after all, I have been paying for WoW for longer than a year without any new content release. it is not a lack of monthly content that is killing this game, it is lack of a coherent direction. most do not abandon a ship heading for the rocks because they THINK you might hit them, most jump off because the steering is broken and there is no way to save it.

If they go F2P or P2W, I will probably just go elsewhere. F2P tends to be a death sentence in one shape or another. Drop 3 is looking great on the PTR so I will at least wait this long. I do remember Carbine saying that they will never go free to play. However, never say never is very real. A lot of companies have backed out on their "never going to do this" list.

Too many basic regressions have gotten into production. They absolutely need to correct their code->test->delivery pipeline. That said, it's looking more and more like they're going to need a Hail Mary to get back to a sustainment population.

But Wildstar is only a game. I will not wait for ever. If I feel the game have nothing to do for me I leave. And that cant be the intention. Wildstar need Drop 3. ASAP. Thats a problem. I know. But thats how it is.

The problem with your whole comparison thing with Blizzard/WoW... Carbine should have learned from the past and this "get out of jail free card"-argument companies make mistakes.. yes they do. Do I care as person who wants to be entertained? No. They are the professionals. I mean, we learned now, that the management maybe is the real issue here, and the programmers are talented and so and so forth... but then I play my medic and cannot hold this true.

Maybe read other forums? Carbine started thread yesterday about PTR changes and how affects upcoming Drop3. From what Chua understand, drop3 is still several weeks away. This due new Quality and Feedback gates installed by Carbine for releasing content. Chua not sure what is better approach, but feedback is there:  https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/114436-ptr-updates-release-management-overhaul/
