I know that there have been a lot of other crippling issues, but is anyone aware if the /say crossfaction bug has been fixed with 2.8?

The worst part about this is the casual nature it makes it sound if it's NOT fixed. "let me know so I can pass it along." If it's NOT fixed, I'm willing to bet you'll see a mass exodus of RPers, because it'll be AT LEAST 3 more weeks before they try to roll out a fix at that point. 2 months with a bug that breaks one aspect of the game? I don't think so.

That would be nice, if the update didn't also simultaneously trash all the hard work PvE'rs have already done gathering comms, and mean that anyone can now farm what is supposed to be the hardest tier of gear in the game with no effort. The rate at which you get gear in PvP and PvE is now drastically different. I'm staggered. If they don't also release a new tier of gear and new comm, as well as several new ops and (maybe) even a new level cap in this update they're going to lose a huuuge number of players, and those will probably be subbers.

Release it into the PTS yes, but there is no reason NOT to release what is coming unless a) they already have a plan and they're not sure they can deliver on it or b) they have no idea what they're giving us for it

No offense, but why not now? The only reason I can see not to reveal what your bringing in your next major content update is because you don't know if you're going to be able to get it out, and you don't want to announce another push-back. Which is bad, but it's just as bad that you're not saying things because you don't think you can actually deliver on your timeline for them. Should we expect this roadmap that comes out in a "week or two" to also have quite a bit cut from it?
