New post on the Bose site. In short: apparently they've halted the user events, like character voting, for now. This is due to the various negative feedback that's arisen. In the meantime they are going to brainstorm different types of characters and skills.
They do say that they aren't going to stop having these kinds of events and are glad that user events can provoke changes in the game.
They'd love to receive ideas from people (which reads more like, 'please give us better feedback than 'this sucks', etc).
Now I was expecting a patch of some sort after they finished the user events, but now there really is no way to estimate when. The post definitely suggests that will we see new content in the future, so that's good news.
