Some issues are not as easy to fix as others. In an ideal world, we'd just snap our fingers and any problems would instantly be fixed -- but unfortunately that isn't the case in reality.
We haven't been idle. The status hasn't changed since the last time we answered -- we're working on a solution. In the meantime, please be patient.

Q u o t e:
Cay, I think the problem and frustration here is that no one understands how this issue could possibly be difficult to fix. I mean, all that needs to be done is a quest has to be added. Furthermore, it's a quest that nearly identical to one that was successfully added 9 other times (for different level ranges and sides). Unless you can do a better job of explaining what makes this issue so difficult, I don't think people are going to be reassured by your post.
"A quest being added" requires a patch, not a hotfix, which requires going through the patch creation process. Mind, it's much abridged due to the lack of content, but it's not some switch we can flip on live realms.

Q u o t e:
So how was fixing Warriors so much easier than fixing a quest? The quest must be somewhere in the code just waiting to be enabled for horde 30-39. If it can really be fixed by a small patch, why hasn't it?
The message being sent is this: If it benefits players (Warriors having extra talent points) it will be addressed post haste. If players are hindered, it will be fixed in a month... maybe.
I touched on this earlier, but... the Warrior issue basically amounted to a few numbers in a database. That sort of thing is (relatively) easy to fix without much trouble. It can still have its bumps, but overall it's not too difficult.
A missing quest is something ENTIRELY different and not something that can be fixed as easily. Also, 52 talent points for Warriors is FAR more unbalancing and game-threatening than this missing quest. Now, that's not to say we're not working on it -- we are. We're in the process of making a fix. But it's a patch, and patches require more work and thus more time than a simpler hotfix.
Is that understood?
