I've read that before the 20th anniversary party. You were so frustrated with it and said to call them out on it at the party. Then I guess they blew some smoke about new pixelcrack, gave some hugs and fuzzy words and you was all sold?
You vote with your money. Bonnie must be laughing at those people paying half a dozen accounts buying into her worthless words.
Why should they even spent costly developer time if all it takes are some fuzzy words and a selfy?
And I'm gonna break another secret to you: the bugfix publish will have nothing to do with the EC bugs we know since years. I hope your are not expecting them to fix longstanding bugs rather than exploits EJ will introduce. They will keep adding stuff that is limited by the CC and is a huge step back from the EC (like the laughable jewelry container without sorting, filtering, etc.).
It's also the only way to get someone's attention above Bonnie to look at UO. Since Bonnie obviously couldn't care less about paying customers with comments like "lol you can buy a token", the only chance for UO is someone above her picking it up (just like I guess we came to EJ that Bonnie never wanted). Sure, chances are they are just going to call it quits for UO, but I wouldn't even be sad compared to the sad state Bonnie is running UO into.
It would need someone with drive, not this burnt out whatever..
