The news was more "We know, it sucks, we play the game too. So we're just gonna take it over and make it better, but it'll take a while, sorry."

Having said that, I love that they at least TOLD us when the next events would be, so I'm no longer worried about hoarding all my stam and SC for events that never come. Even with the sparse events at least we know which ones are coming, and can prep in advance. I like the news... also bringing back units that were skipped, awesome.
