What I think happened to the game and it's terrible performance

Now to preface. This is totally a tin foil hat schizo theory and I don't have any evidence

AH didn't expect perfonace to tank so badly after the recent updates. However they already had all their goals and deadlines set and can't course correct right away to fix it and I don't know if they have the manpower to release the content they set the deadlines for and the fixes at the same time.

This is not a defense on any way. Just me coping that they are gonna fix the performance after they release they content they already lined up. Feel free to debunk it
