More proof that complaining and criticism gets results. If everyone stayed silent then it wouldn't get fixed.
I wouldn't get too excited. Cause all the stuff people were complaining about was probably fixed weeks or a month ago or so. Frontier is probably just being nice by acting like they passed all the complaints to the dev team. The things people were complaining about were obvious and pretty noticeable so I doubt they were getting over looked by the people responsible. They would have been taken care of in the polishing phase of the games development. Just like Nick Rodgers said, the came was complete and all they were doing was polishing it up.
I don't know why they didn't call all the complainers out and tell them "oh that stuff has been fixed like a month ago". So they could all end up looking foolish.
