It feels to me like they gimped my 35£ expansion pack on purpose. It's so early from previous release, that they must have held content back. I am angry.
My favorite part about this is that they did this immediately after completing the Make-a-Stuff-Pack experiment that was supposed to teach us how stuff packs are made.
That experiment started like a year ago! The implication is stuff packs take a year or months to develop! Every single piece of evidence - evidence that they provided us with not but a month ago - implies they've been planning this for some time. This isn't a sudden change of attitude where suddenly now they're greedy. Nah, it's basically confirmed for us they've been greedy.
Pretty sure at some point during the process it was said that the community stuff pack takes longer than normal to develop because we were involved in it. I'm sure there's all sorts of legal/beaurcratic stuff they had to work through to invovle others besides the regular dev teams. I doubt it takes a full year for a normal pack to be made. That and I think they have several projects going on at once, some pre-dev, some mid-dev, some post-dev.
Anyways, I wouldn't apply the community pack's timeline to the others. It was more about the processes (design choices and such) than how much actual time it takes.
