I think both sides of the argument above (ie not troll, however the lack of updates). Have valid points. The problem is that some people would like to know when they can reasonbly expect the game, so they can have a sense of clousure and move on with their lives.
On the other hand the team's view (I hope that I am not misrepresenting them because I am not a team member and I am not their attorney). Is that they would like to keep the information quiet because of two reasons. 1. Notices are not their priority, their priority is to make the game the as best as possible as quickly as possible. 2. To keep spoilers from leaking.
As you can imagine both sides are almost polar oposites from one another. The problem that the team sees with sharing the information is that sharing that information is kind like money. You can have plenty but you always want more. (At least that the theory of capitalism). On the other side I think fans fear that if there is no time pressure then the team will take their time to do their game (That they are within their rights). Sometimes people operate better when they have a deadline, it forces them to work quicker and you learn to sacrfice what can be sacrifice. Is like cleaning the house, you can either take the whole day cleaning the house or a couple of hours. Most people take the time that is available to them in the situation.
My intention is not to bash one side or the other. Instead of arguing or disagreeing I think people can post constructive comments. Instead of saying post reports, or I want reports mention the reasons and a procedure why. The fans will proably not be able to negotiate with the team because negotiation only happens when both sides don't have the power to achive their goal and they need something from the other party. (Overgeneralization, however not that bad from reality). In this case the Team holds all the power to build the game in their time span. Hence the only logical way that fans might some thing that they want is not by arguing but rather by persuation.
P.S. I don't know what the definition of a troll is.
