I can't help thinking that so many times in this livestream we heard MMG saying "yes that would be great, but we just don't have enough developers to work on it at the moment, they're all busy on other things."
And these "other things", particularly the EoC, are falling behind schedule too, 3 weeks between updates instead of 1, events hurried out at the last minute, bigger problems not addressed.
So it would seem that, in spite of them "doubling the size of the team" (although it's not doubled yet, MMG admitted they have many unfilled vacancies from all the CM Jmods who left because they couldn't stand being forced to lie to players any longer), all the devs at Jagex are overworked and don't have time to properly do the projects they are working on, let alone the ones they'd like to and should be doing.
However
Any idiot can see that SoF and Solomon updates continue to come out on time, every time, without delay, nothing can stop them. They are number one priority, and distant second is anything else that is actually good for the game.
MMG says it's only 15% of the workforce on Micropayments, but who can believe him after so many lies? Even if this claim is true, 15% of devs, artists, testers etc. could really give the current projects a boost, and allow some of those "really cool but we don't have the time" updates everyone wants to get done too.
But it's never going to happen, the people in charge of Jagex won't let their money making schemes get delayed for even one week for the good of the game.
Every week SoF and Sol content comes out on time, and every other part of the game suffers because of it.
No amount of MMG lies can hide this fact.
