Pirates of the Burning Sea Patch a Step in the Right Direction?

The director of development for the disappointing "Pirates of the Burning Sea" recently sat down to share a few of the tidbits in the upcoming patch that is promising a host of improvements. "There were a number of changes in 1.4, but the buccaneer was definitely the big one, because with a new class you have to do new missions, career appearance items, and that sort of thing. That's all taken a lot of effort from a lot of the team. In addition to that, we have set up a lot of trial account restrictions so we can better control the abuse of trial and buddy accounts by gold spammers. We have implemented a number of things, on the back end, to help with customer support. That's an ongoing theme, because as we see more support requests, we provide more tools to make the GMs lives easier."

Disappointment.

Am I the only one who was super-excited upon seeing a screenshot or video of this game, only to be crushed moments later by the discovery that it was another damned MMO?

Sid Meier's Pirates! was cool, but the single-player pirate experience could be done much better. Stupid MMO, getting my hopes up for all of 5 seconds.
