My opionion is wait and see. I mean, if we KNEW this was going to be in an
upcomming patch, then feedbacking ahead of time would be fine to ward it
off. As it stands right now, we would likely just be filling the feedback
cues with messages asking them not to do something they weren't going to do
anyway and wasting time that would be better spent fixing actual problems
with the game. Of course, that's just my opinion.
