It is amazing to me that a great product can be produced and that the creators don't have a clue what the end user want's from it . The lack of understanding was demonstrated through there unpreparedness at elite launch. I understand the intial launch of an online service is always going to be like that. However, the demand becomes stable after a couple of weeks. I can deal with the fact that they underestimated the demand for elite.  Which is associated with the biggest entertainment franchise of all time  and they should have over estimated. The fact that they still don't " get it" is shown because they continue to roll out stuff that no one cares about while things we wanted... and paid for are still not available.  I can not except that clans and clan competions which are the most  wanted parts of elite are the last to be dealt with .No one really cares  about watching noob players compete on a terribly covered tv  competion no matter how "famous" they are.

How could they ever guess that we would want to make clans with our friends and compete with other people.......... I mean grouping with friends online has never been a trend before,,, being competitive and wining prizes,,,,no one wants that,,,,,so go ahead and put that off until everyone gets competely turned off by the service...

This forum is amazingly exactly how i've been feeling. I don't want to start a hate thing either but come on. We PAID for this. Sure they gave us a free month but that month has come and gone. It's not even so much the lack of things that were promised because I know/hope they are giving it 110% to get it running but the lack of updates are insulting. I to thought for sure we'd have an update on dec 13th, then the 14th then the 15th and so on. It's the 18th and still no update. I watch twitter and the the elite system has pretty much died. I believe that twitter is the only real way to get a hold of people in charge. I constantly tweet robert bowling and cod elite looking for answers. I love call of duty, I am a huge fan of Elite, I loved the beta, but I need the following.

1. Another free month because honestly what exactly have i gotten that the free members haven't? I suppose i got to play in some operations(when they're not canceled)

2. An ETA on clan operations because I usually hate new maps and bought this service for the clans and clan operations and thats it.

3. Last of all I would just like to be treated like a paying customer. Okay your service has sucked so far, some people still have faith in it so keep us updated. DAILY!

I guess my fear is that they don't give us updates because we would riot if we knew how long it was going to take for things to get running. Best case is that they are so close that they just want to wait till its there but i'm leaning more and more to believing my fear. I tell people DO NOT BUY ELITE UNTIL CLAN OPERATIONS ARE WORKING BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON WE ALL BOUGHT IT WAS FOR FOUNDER STATUS AND NOW YOU WONT EVEN GET THAT. and you know that this DLC is going to be their out for not having the clan stuff.

Yes im getting sick of this.

We demand updates now.

Im a clan leader to (Criminal Minds, 32 members)  And im sick of looking for founders to boost up the clan. All i can tell to my members its the only way to boost up the clan.

I also got a nice notification that: they understand my enthousiasm to look for members but that i have to limit the recruiting on the forums/operations and so. 

What the hell, just give me the options to do it the way its supposed to be. Or at least a update. Otherwise i dont see any other options then to look for founders...

Twitter is the best thing to message them on because as far as i've seen that's the only thing they look at.
