! - the devs have added more staff since the game went a bit wild.
2 - game has added stuff, more than just a few pieces, said hi to the tar pits and growths ?
3 - the devs added stuff while working on mistlands, a new mob in the swamps and a new set of dungeons in the mountains plus balance changes to keep us busy.
4 - Development takes time when you are ramping up new staff, and the new guys have shown us what they are adding... hell I want the guys who done the abomination to have a look at the other mobs, that critter is sweet.
5 - tossing cash at a PC does little, the cash just hits the PC and falls to the ground... no code is done.

In brief, as long as I dont see 1.0 or DLC I am willing to wait and see, so far so good.
