Usual bullshit.  "Quality of life improvements" yet the worst quality of life factor in the game, our dear friend the Lag, remains unchecked and unchallenged.

Releasing a new class, Halflings with a minor cosmetic change to their heads.  Damn, that must have been hours of coding work for the night janitor.

I must have missed the part where they were going to fix handwraps, you know, the weapon specific to one of the most expensive PAY TO PLAY class in the game.  Might have been buried in there with the news about the update to Monk enhancements. I kinda skipped over that.

Oh, and the anniversary thing.  Sev and the gang have no idea how much some of the player base want to kill them.  Sell a special throwing potion called "Spit on a dev's grave" that we could throw at them after they're dead (with some cool visual effects added in) and I can promise robust sales in the store.

More time for other stuff.

frankly the gnome looks a lot like what I imagine PP looks like - a pervy inbred midget albeit with better sartorial sense and without all the iguana shit stains.

I will.  PF promised to balance the classes.  And then they went right ahead with piling more power on the casting classes just like D&D 3.5 did.  So sure, your Fighter doesn't suck as hard in PF as in 3.5, but who cares when the Wizard got just as much added power and the gap didn't shrink at all?

My beef with the Gnome is that they are willing to spend time on it, and of course at least one enhancement tree for the race (and they are getting two, right?  Vanilla and svirfneblin?), rather than completing the class passes which remain undone and unscheduled.  Or even written, in the case of the Artificer and Druid.

They have to stimulate sales. The player base is stagnate new players only coming in at a trickle while the old players leave at a trickle. So new races, classes, are essential.

I think the problem they have really run into is that the passes were supposed to be done by this time last year, but with the swashbuckler's introduction there was a big jump in players and buying, so every pass after that became a 'event' much larger and had much more power creep in a effort to catch the spike they unexpectedly got with Swash. As opposed to just fixing the heavily gimp classes to make them playable which had been the initial mission statement for passes. Try to remember how absolutely broken and useless Bards and Pallys were just a couple years ago.

So as it dragged on, it hit classes that feed the players but stopped driving purchases, instead making existing end-game toons really tremendous, and so the momentum was lost. So the compromised and now are pushing a both new classes, races, along with class passes to feed the existing players hunger for power. 

Why bother? There'll be +9 tomes soon anyway.

Oh, did not know, do not care. Another way; "There will be some other power creep anyway so who cares." Less specific, same difference. Who creams their knickers over +2 to a stat these days? Not enough to play the ugly slugbeards.
