Hmm. Rant/entitlement much?
GR will be ready when it's ready. Judging from what WW said when she became lead Dev, they've got a work plan up to and probably including I20 or even 21 already laid out that they are working to.
Oh, and it's not the Devs that ultimately call the shots; its the bosses at NCSoft.
So, just sit back and enjoy the good stuff, hmm?

GR is, AFAICT from forum reading comprehension, in a closed beta cycle on the European Test Server. So, it IS being worked on.

Yeah can't imagine why they'd want to make a temp power and a few costume things to get 10 bucks from half their existing base, especially since they already got their GR cash up front from most players.
I for one hope they wait on GR til it's ready - we've already seen with i17 what happens when they guarantee a release date.

Just you lucky bums have two test servers. We only have the one. So ours is locked if you don't have Beta acess

This rant is neither justified nor funny and it has caps.

To the OP: get a life, it'll be out when it's out.

As one of the usual bullet points used to address this particular sort of canard has not yet been rolled out, I suppose it falls to me:
The developers who are working on booster packs are not necessarily the same developers who have work to do on Going Rogue. Booster packs tend to have a preponderance of art-related content. The art resources for GR are probably already done, since we've already had a massive asset pre-download. This leaves the art team with a bit of touch-up work to deal with issues that come up during beta, and not a lot else to do - so they may as well make booster packs while the programming and design team sweat over GR beta fixes.
So, in short, not making boosters will not help GR come out faster.
