I wouldn't say THEY alone because it was the players that forced some FAST action response by the team.
Yes they could have done it better like remove the instance feel of the starter zone AND more important is NOT clump everyone in the same area to start a game,you NEED more than 1 starting spot.
So imo there was no real thought put into the starting idea just a thought that the game should have one.I however do not think that after 99% already went through the ordeal they were going to invest time and money to fix it up,so they took the VERY easy cost effective route of just allowing players to bypass it.
If often leaves us wondering what the heck is actually looked at during BETA testing?We ALWAYS see in released games last minute fixes to problems AFTER release that should have been looked at LONG before.
I think my point is that games truly are RUSHED.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
just because YOU can decided to skipp or not to skipp doesnt mean that YOU have to skipp or that YOUR story does get altered in any way...you prolly got the wink - its YOUR choice to do what you want and YOU shouldnt care about the experience or choice of OTHER people...

There was 5 million beta accounts. You base anything on less than five hundred people that got so worked up about a change in an un-published game that they had to participate in a poll about it seriously?
I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're merely trolling because "immersion" in a themepark game is simply a myth.
