This seems to sum up my thoughts on the subject, thought it was pretty funny too. It's amazing that it's been that long.

Though, I did play diablo 2 for years so this isn't a terrible surprise. It took them, what, over a year to put out the 1.10 patch for that?

I'd be happy if they'd just change the raid lockout stuff and fixed the Aspect of the Hawk bug.

They seem to be collating every major change into one big patch, I really have no idea why since they've already had a number of smaller ones. I know there has to be some internal testing period, but it can't be that risky to push the changes to the Stratholme respawn timer with only a week of tests, for instance.

I do think it's funny everyone spent years hating Verant/SoE for doing virtually no testing of anything at all and now hates Blizzard for doing the opposite :>

Because they obviously tested everything, which is aparent from all their flawless high level content.
