I think the AI patch comes from people complaining the game is too easy.

I personally didn't and think the patch didn't help anything but it is a work in progress and still in line with the vision of the project as they see it.

The server thing is a QOL issue and honestly should have less priority than a game play issue. They may just not have a decent programmer for network issues like this so it just gets put off till "later". We just don't know. But considering the outcry from some for more "content" I don't see them doing anything about the server issues any time soon... it is something that still works as it should. It isn't broken.
