No matter what happens with the patch, people will always find a reason to complain. If it's released with bugs, they'll complain about the lack of quality control. If it's delayed, they'll complain about the missed deadline. If there are changes, they'll complain about not being consulted. If there are no changes, they'll complain about stagnation. It's difficult to please everyone, but it's important to focus on delivering the best patch possible and addressing any valid concerns or criticisms from players...
Let them do the job... everyone can complain after once again hehe
