1.3 Surprise or really "lean"

I'm curious if this is sarcasm or not? I've played MMOs a long time, and perhaps my memory is failing me after all this time, but I don't remember a patch in any MMO that changed as much as 1.2. Let me list the features that I personally noticed were added in 1.2.

1.2 added:
- A New warzone
- Some PVP stat tracking including total number of wins
- Same-faction vs same-faction version of voidstar
- Stat re-balancing including expertise diminishing returns re-balancing
- A new world boss that's challenging to raid guilds.
- A new 4-boss raid with 2 difficulty settings that's very finely tuned to be a challenge to raid guilds.
- New loot for nightmare mode Karagga's Palace
- The customizable built-in user interface which is my favorite of any MMO
- A new exciting live-event complete with new voice-over, cut scenes, social gear, vanity pets, level 50 "infected" versions of old world-bosses, dailys and great world-building design
- At least 3 new armor sets for every class
- Two of the new armor sets per class have swappable set-piece bonuses (a new tech I haven't seen in an MMO)
- The ability to remove all armoring mods from all end-game sets
- An expansion of the Orange augmented moddable quality gear sets, along with giving crafters a place in end-game itemization
- New dailys on corellia including heroic dailys
- Tons of bug and exploit fixes.
- Class balance fixes. Nerfs to all the most powerful builds and buffs to the weakest ones. Healing re-balanced.
- A new quest for a vanity pet bird and everyone got a pet in the mail.
- Training dummies Combat Logging that is self-only to help you compare your builds.
- Mailing to alts, even accross faction
- New vehicle rewards for "achivement style" quests.
- New credit-sinks in the form of Legacy unlocks - amenities on your ship, race unlocks, ect...
- Guild banks
- New rewards for fleet comms like new tier-8 crafting materials
- Engine optimization. Remember when opening your inventory/char sheet lagged you for a full second? Not anymore!
- Sprint at level 1 to make alt leveling faster
EDIT cuz' I forgot: - A new flashpoint with two difficulty settings

Those are the things I can personally remember. If anyone, anywhere, is aware of any patch for any MMO that added more than that, please go ahead and post here. I know of paid-expansions that have added more, but I have never seen a quarterly patch add so much.

Most of the above should have been in at launch, the fact that you're impressed that it was added as a 'content addition' is saddening.

more like a whole lot of promises and very little substance.

Sadly, this is what I expect. Lotta promises (like the one from Jan 4th about being able to use emotes on my speeder) that simply never materialize.

Well so far i believe everything they have said about 1.3 and nothing that you have said.

Just stop. This is why people are constantly disappointed. Don't hype something up that you've been specifically told isn't there.
