At the very least, it'd be nice if we got some sort of official response to the situation. As it stands, we're left to assume that the dev team doesn't care and we're stuck watching things fall apart around us. If they're going to address it, just not now, let us know. If this is expected behavior, flat out tell us so we can stop wasting time with PP and go do something that's actually fun.
So far, the closest thing to official response has been nebulous interpreted early development quotes some of the outted 5C players have been using to shield themselves from criticism. Official statements of intent would at least clarify what to discuss about the situation...
