I think they just ran out of money and could not keep the game in beta phase and had to release earlier than they wanted.
While I am gratefull for a functioning arena mode that is modable (according to this at least

Overall this game is something I really looked forward to, but I am sad that the community does not give 2 cents about the competitive multiplayer experimental aspect of this game (competitive questing). Fighting someone over completing a quest, is a concept unseen in my days as a gamer and I am curious to see what kind of games could come out if this formula were to ever get improved.
