Lets start with the good news for brink/bethesda...
The good: if they read their own forums, it will be blatantly easy to know what needs to be balanced in this next patch to make things right,
The bad: I've come to the conclusion they indeed do not read their own forums :[
Why?

Because patching takes time.
They've patched the lag issues and minor balancing issues with 1.02.

Now they're finalizing the DLC and hopefully creating a party and clan system.

Patience Dumpkoff.

Patience for basic features that should be standard with any fps? Lol...
really devoted fan?

wow you can't say fan-boy?! lol

Right, because half the crap people suggest would just make the game worse, so even if they do read the forums they've still got to spend far too much time sorting through the garbage.
