At the risk of ruffling some feathers, this “announcement” was bound to lead to confusion and disappointment. Specifically, I was expecting a TR announcement because I had not caught the fine distinction about the teased announcement being for Jon.
Considering the ongoing hints and teases dropped about “Thing 1”… by Nate, Chad (specifically via Jon’s relayed message last week), and countless other mentions on the cast and here in the forum, people had a reasonable expectation (myself included) that this would be something for us.
We’ve seen some heated discussion (mostly in the Masters threads, but elsewhere too) about the teasing and overall delay in getting whatever we are likely to see as the next official TR release, that I think there was an oversight here because people are waiting, and waiting.
It’s the double-edged sword where giving some hints and ideas on direction are enticing and wanted by users. But it also leads to an expectation, especially when “soon” keeps getting mentioned in relation to the whole process.
I just recommend some further consideration and more attentive handling with respect to the current environment, and the interaction between TR and users. Please keep this in mind and be overly clear when teasing out whatever is to come. Thanks for your time.
