Blizz: "We've decided this not good enough and are going to roll this into freeze trap."
Hunters: "Yay!"
A few days pass.
Blizz: "Well, the technology does not exist. We'll do it when the technology is available."
Hunters: "That's understandable. We can wait a few months..."
2) 41 Survival is replaced with Trap Mastery.
Blizz: "Since we've given up on the 'Release when it's done philosophy' so we can make the holidays, this 41 talent will suck. Sorry. We'll fix it soon after launch of WOTLK."
Hunters: "Oh...kay..."
3) Disengage is broken at any angle except flat, even level land.
Blizz: "Well, the technology to fix this does not exist. We're working on technology to fix this..."
Hunters: "Well... we can wait..."
4) Ammunition Changes in 3.1
Blizz: "Down with ammo! Hunters for too long have had to PAY to arena, PAY to farm, PAY to do anything that no other classes has to pay to do. No more ammo pouches, no more ammo."
Hunters: "Yay!"
A few days later.
Blizz: "Well, the technology to change this does not exist. We're working on technology to fix it and will implement the chance when/if we ever have that technology."

How many times Blizzard *recently* have you told us you ran into a "technology" issue and recall a change you promised? How does increasing the STACK of ammo change the fact that hunters are paying to arena, paying to bg, paying to farm, paying to do dailies, paying to do all the things everyone else takes for granted?
Is it really hard to just go in and modify ranged weapons to have the effect that you already put on one bow in the game (Sunwell bow)?
I seriously believe that this "technology" excuse is your catch-all argument when Blizz wants to pull a change without the community going crazy about it. And yes, I know Blizzard said they could pull any change, but seriously, why announce THIS change if there was even the slightest possibility of pulling it?
That's insanity. And now to use the same tired technology answer we've heard on other issues in the last 3 months?
When was the last time we heard about disengage fixes? Have you heard anything about bear trap functionality being put into freeze trap any time lately? What about that Survival 41 talent point fix?
All promised to be worked on, no hint, no word, no sign that they are.
I'm not angry, but I think Blizzard needs to stop using this technology excuse and give us a real reason why so many fixes and changes for hunters are being swept under the technology rug and then never mentioned again...
