I'm watching all this back and forth and it's sad. If EAxis had implemented the plum color wheel from the start, none of this would be happening right now. This thread wouldn't even exist.

I understand the frustration that some may have with the underwhelming reveal that the swatches are only for doors, but some of y’all are just so incredibly rude, some of you need to reflect on what exactly it is you’re getting upset about and recognize that some of your verbal intentions are quite harmful.
We got 350 new door swatches and some of you are acting like it’s the end of times.
They got lied to by the simgurus (misleading statements are a form of lie). Aren't lies rude? Especially when your listener trusts you? Isn't that harmful to them?
I can't believe you're trying to shame the people that are rightfully upset.
They didn't lie, they were vague, there's a distinct different between the two. They said we would be getting 350 new swatches and we did, for doors, no lie was ever spoken on the Guru's part.
Never was I trying to shame anyone for being upset, you're aloud to be upset, and I encourage those who are upset to speak out but in a respectable and constructive manner. If people are upset about the door swatches and how the initial announcement/release was handled, then act in a constructive form, because I can guarantee you now that calling the Guru's lazy and assuming they don't care/mislead their audience on purpose isn't going to lead us or anyone anywhere.
You're being as dishonest as they are by not calling it a lie. @drake_mccarty clearly defined their deception just above your post, so you can't have missed how the lie was identified.
And you WERE shaming people who were legit upset and expressing how they perceived EAxis after yet another deceptive act. This isn't the first time and from track record, EAxis is going to keep doing this - so no amount of constructive criticism is going to change them. It's really questionable why you take EAxis side no matter what even if their despicable acts are so glaringly obvious.
Why couldn't EAxis just been upfront about the swatches only being for doors in the first place? This thread wouldn't even exist if they had just been honest from the start and now EAxis has to send in their lackeys to downplay their faux pas. Ultimately all this deception did was just further damages customer trust.
You know what that means? The further damage of customer trust? That means less pre-pay of future packs and TS5. Less buying the packs at full price to play right away and more waiting for player feedback and buying it on sale. Why should we trust EAxis and pay upfront if they had lied to us so many times before with previous packs?
The new leadership at EAxis is not thinking about future long-term consequences!
If you read any of my comments carefully I am actually not taking any sides, just pointing out what is objectively true. I'm not going to comment on drake_mccarty explanation because in all honesty I believe it to be a reach, if you dig hard enough you'll find a reason to make it so. Point I'm making here is nothing the guru's said was a lie and the attacks that some are delivering are completely out of line, I am not shaming those who are upset, I am however pointing out that
it is not okay to be rude, again, being vague is not lying no matter how hard you try to twist the definitions, and whether they were doing it on purpose isn't my call to make but I
seriously doubt that they did what they did with intent.
