I agree with you about how they handled the promotion of patch 6. Hard to say if it was just a lack of mindfulness if they themselves expected to release it earlier this week and they got delayed with fine tuning issues. Or if they deliberately trolled us with the entire promotion. I have been both very amused and very frustrated by it all. If they do indeed release it tomorrow, and they knew that all along, it would have been kinder to announce that it's coming at the end of this week, instead of sometime during the week of February 12th. But I still love the hell out of them, and I'm very excited for whenever we are generously gifted with patch 6.
I personally suspect they intended to release it on Valentines day and then delayed it to Friday due to probably logistical reasons. I suspect they internally developed Patch 6 as the "Valentines Day update".
