I worked in software and system testing and it was my job to make sure there weren't bugs and report any that were found. It was also, at my company, a PRIORITY to fix them. We pay money for a game. We expect minimal issues with game play. I don't care how hard it is. If it is that hard then they should not venture into it or be prepared to deal with it when it happens. But it seems to me like there are just so many excuses for why products do not perform properly (not just a game but all products across the board) and the simple reason is that they want the money and are far less concerned with the product they put out. Case in point, the original ending of ME3. Some didn't mind it, but most were pretty disgusted and disillusioned.
What I'm saying is that I'm tired of all the excuses corporate america has for producing crap. You made it then you are responsible for it to perform properly. If it does not, you are responsible for recalls and fixes. If it is a game then you had better have a hefty team ready to go to work on bugs you may have missed in the original testing. I don't give a rat's butt what the cost is or how hard it is. It is their responsibility to make sure the game functions. I will never buy another EA or BW or MS related game again as I've seen how little they care about fixing the garbage they put out. Bottom line is it's all about money and all the excuses in the universe won't change that. In this case, they have made an insane amount of money on the franchise so they should have put a vast sum of money with large team ready, willing and available to do as much overtime as needed to fix the bugs. That is their job. To cop out and say it is not their job or responsibility is about as low as it gets. You create a product, your product should work as expected. End of story. Instead they screw around with nerfs and buffs and packs that are God awful most of the time but make them a mint of money for those who buy them and leave all the bugs just as they are. PATHETIC!
This is not an attack on the workers at BW as I believe they are working within the confines the company has created. But clearly, the company doesn't care enough to allocate more resources to this. And actually, I feel badly for the BW employees because they are tasked with a mission that a lot of players count on and if BW hasn't bothered to give them the resources they need, which clearly they have not, then that's just more stress for the employee.

Considering all the stuffs this guys is saying... is 6 months in public really tolerable time to fix anything?
What other things we let go without getting fixed for 6 months?
Are the bugs only problem this game has? What about all those re-nerf, re-buff, un-common is better rhan rare craps?

Yeah, "Finally B and not A, I don't care if A was reasonable, B is different, so it's good!"

Not in my opinion. Heck, 1 month is sorta pushing it (coughMissingEarthModscough). It would be a little better if they'd at least give us updates or something. <_<

I never said A wans't reasonable. It just overpopulated the forums and this makes just as much sense as A, so i like this post. But to each his own.
