Every Q&A we are getting more of this - "At some point, this will be possible. No ETA yet, but we have a design fleshed out." "This is totally in the plan, but we are unsure at this time when it will get to you." "We have a plan for this. However," "in a future game update." It seems like we a suggestion is made or a question asked thgey are not supposed to say no...

It's from the Magic 8-Ball "Game Designer's Edition", obviously.

Well its better than. "We are hoping to roll this out for 1.2.8/1.3" Then them not being able to due to bugs, not having enough of it done and then everyone getting all annoyed that they havent done it when they specifically said they would. If they have no ETA date then what do you want them to do? Make one up on the spot? Some things, such as 3D Space Combat take a long time to do and they may not have a fixed time on it.

Um.. why can't they say we are going to do this then do it like most companies I pay money to? OT - Why not just say "Neat idea, but we have no plans at this time." instead of trying to string people along.

Generally because they do have plans for it, but can't give accurate estimations as to when it'll happen. You do realize it's impossible to give even a ballpark figure on how long these things take until they're actively working on them, not just having it on the list?

Hey let's make a drinking game! Whenever CS or the Dev team says one of those, we take a drink! Wait... I think we will drink ourselves blind or get alcohol poisoning... maybe this is a bad idea...

I'm sure they have plans to do it, they just don't have the personnel necessary to do it right now. If I asked you to build me a house would you have it done by tomorrow? Same concept.

They are saying they will be adding the things in that are discussed in the Q&A threads, but they are not giving you a specific date. Do you want them to make one up? Because it's almost certain they do not have an exact date for the stuff they say they are working on.

Because if BW says that 1.3 will be ready on May 15th they have set themselves to a deadline. If some unforseen event happen that they need to delay the patch then everyone in the forums are gonna complain about BW breaking promises by not releasing it on the 15th. No game company anywhere will ever give you an exact date on anything until they are confident that what they are releasing is ready.
