I mean...if they did not realize it would lead to speculation, what did they think would happen?

That people would just have fun with it? I want to point to this very morning when SimGuruNinja posted a very cool picture of the moon which he then deleted because people instantly assumed it was a hint to Werewolves. Or a few months ago when everyone was convinced we were getting a chopped pack because the Gurus were sharing food pics.

The community takes their posts and runs with them no matter how generic or innocent they are. I think George's baby and Ninja's puppies are the only things I've seen tweeted about that weren't spun into wild speculation by some portion of the fanbase.

There is a reason for this though. A correlated track record over years of Gurus flirting and acting up about new content leading shortly after to a teaser, time and time again. Verified instances of them denying it's a hint, only for a few days later to be cheeky about how it obviously was a hint.

I can't blame the people for getting excited and speculating with stuff like this. If the Gurus really were trolling, then it was a really poor decision to do so, especially at this time of the year when we would usually find out something.
