This is a fine explanation when you're talking about fleshing out the game, niche elemtns within the game, or 'end game' elements that would be a couple months of play time out anyway.
But...
We are talking about a game (cool concept, incredible potential, dedicated indi dev, blah blah) that we paid real money to play.
We are talking about the most basic of gameplay mechanics.
We are talking about th emost basic of balance elements.
So, rather than asking for a refund for being sold a bill of goods that was more than a few items short compared to what was on the bill of sale, they can keep my money as a deposit for GETTING THINGS FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I understand that things like tribal warfare, seiging, advanced&improved combat mechanics are all features that they will be getting too as soon as possible...while the implementation of these things is the fundemental reason i purchased the game...the here and now REQUIRES that the existing situation be 'not broken'.
As an investor in this here product, I will holler and scream to the best of my ability when something seems wonky, broken, or just downright stupid. That's me as an investor trying to make this here product a certifiable success.
