Before you go off yelling at me, yes I know it isn't exactly ideal that SoE's idea of complete isn't/wasn't the same as ours BUT if its reasonable to suppose that players won't reach a zone for 3 months, it seems reasonable to me to release the game "early" and finish the zone while players are busy in other parts of the expansion.

Your naivete is astounding, but here's another rhetorical question: Do you honestly believe that every company that has had something to gain by releasing a product early will always do what's in the best interests of the customer?

There is certainly something to gain from releasing a product "early", that's obvious. Your underlying assumption, however, is that releasing a product with unitemized/unpopulated zones is the same thing as lying. It isn't unless you specifically state somewhere "Expansion contains fully itemized, fully populated zones x,y,z".
