When the game turned out to be absolutely nothing like people envisioned, we got nothing but spin and double-speak.
Sigil could have nipped it in the bud by addressing the posts, thoughts and opinions that were extremely widespread, but instead they let people think whatever was popular and generating buzz on the forums. It was all under the guise of 'sekrit sauce' and not wanting to spill the beans, but in reality I think it was due to not having a clue on what to do next and everything that was tried was a bust.
