Jeff,
I realise nothing is as simple as it seems on the internet, but i’ve personally been put out by this bug for quite some time – and the length of time that Area Net has taken to fix it has left a pretty sour taste in my mouth. We all paid good money for this game, and I don’t think its professional or appropriate that we’ve had to wait so long.
Why has it had to wait for a content update – you’ve seen how many people this has affected so why not push it through more quickly.
This really has detracted from the overall enjoyment of the game.
