I can't help but wonder what feedback they're missing. The reactions most testers are having to the Super Packs is pretty damned clear, I think. I've seen feedback on the value of the various inspirations, costume parts, and boosters. About the only thing I've not seen a lot of feedback on is the pet, but that's because so few people have it to look at.|

What more are they waiting to hear?

Maybe they're waiting for something that gives them an indication that if superpacks go live as-is, it will negatively impact their bottom line. Perhaps they're still convinced they'll make more money with it than without despite a handful of dissatisfied forum posters.|

A wait (till it goes live) and see (if people buy enough of it) approach. Then maybe they'll adjust or offer alternatives like putting specific items for straight up purchase if their revenue doesn't show it was worth it.
Or it's something completely different, eh just covering all bases hehe.

I'm not sure how mid-to-late January could ever be misinterpreted to be "right after the New Year" by a normal person.
Of course, I'm used to people on the forums putting their own skewed interpretations onto what other people say.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

When relaying the words of others, things can happen, including hyperbole, exaggeration or misinterpretation (whether through over excitement, misremembering or lack of context). I see things I supposedly said all the time. 99% of the time, it's clear that there's no malicious intent, and it's simple enough for me to step in and clarify. FWIW, I don't believe that the OP meant anything by it.|

Also, I am human, and make mistakes sometimes. So it's entirely possible I said something that was interpreted that way.

I was hoping to take pictures of me wearing it for Christmas.
Apparently those pictures will have to wait.

But ... but the direct word from a redname said its ok to accept second hand reports of what the rednames say because they can always step in and correct misstatements. If you prefer the direct word from the redname, and the direct word of the redname supports listening to the indirect word from the redname...|
