I don't see a real issue. Would it be nice to hear more? Yeah, a comforting pat on the back and 'We are listing' is great, but the truth is they have to sort out through a lot of data and come to decisions about them. 3 weeks playing the game is long, 3 weeks going through feedback, analyzing it and making decisions is ridicolously short.
I'm interested to see what conclusions Larian will draw from all of what's been written and the data they got from the game, but I don't think this whole EA-thing will be 'each week you get a status update and overhauls'. Based on the feedback right now they have to make a big decisions that potentially will revampt their whole combat system and require them to rebalance and change all encounters if they accept that people want 5e and not DOS3.
The only conclusion that isn't intellectually dishonest and extremely underhanded is to immediately implement the changes as well as missing options(such as a RTwP mode).
Yeah... Except RTwP - based on the questionaire you can find here - isn't something even close to 50% of the people want and it would just significantly increase the development time. Like you said 'needs to be immediatly implemented'...
So sure, all the things they need to do are perfectly clear and undisputed and can be done within a week, probably even 2 days if they were not so bad at their jobs. Those lazy bastards....

Doesn't matter what the survey says, there is a large enough percentage that want the feature and we all took the full price plunge for EA. I work in IT and I could implement the entire mode in about 2 weeks provided I had nothing else to work on other than the implementation and I'm just one engineer. Development time is a valid complaint when you don't have two massive publishers bankrolling you on top of 60m income from full price EA. They can leave TB in as the easy mode it is and give us a RTwP mode.
Large percentage of what percent of players? Those on this forum? That I am pretty sure are not near enough to be a coherent and ammissible representation of the real amount of players in early acces and for sure are not a model of the hypotethical buyers of the official release?
Come on mate(s), the fact that we are almost hardcore players (even when lazy like the writer himself :P ), and that we loooove to spend time sharing our opinions doesn't mean we reppresent anything, what Larian gains from Early Acces is more feedback on actual bugs and issues, pretty sure they consider all the other suggestions and so on with just a little small tiny regard.
I do love how people got so easily self convinced that posting in forums, blogs, wahtever paltform make them count for something.
A fraction of a fraction of a fraction.
I just hope Larian does a professional (intellectual honesty? seriously? what about taking ourselves less seriously? and, please, note that I'm mixing myself in the ensemble) work and fixes the bugs and issues that have been highlighted (but I think they use other sets of data than the feedbacks we post here. What can i say I'm a bit of a cinic).
