It's not sarcasm. Lot's of obvious shit that shouldn't have slipped into launch somehow managed to slip into launch. The most glaring one was the honor gear fiasco. It's okay most games especially mmos are released as betas. Even Blizzard with it's YEARS of doing this and piles of cash makes mistakes. But to say it was launched as a beta isn't to far off unfortunately.
Honestly in cataclysm I wasn't bored 2 weeks into the expansion. In mists outside of lfr que I was pretty bored about 1-2 weeks in. I mean if it's all optional and your not forced to do shit you don't like then eventually you just get bored. Or you come on forums tell Blizzard what's up why your bored, get harrased by white knights and then leave anyway. You can tell people it's optional or you can help those people tell Blizzard why it's boring. In the end if enougjh people leave it get's changed anyway.
