I'm not sure which issues you are referring to, but CA isn't about to develop their game in a public forum. They read the forums, and have made that general statement about fixing as many of the reported problems as they can in one patch. Apparently, only one patch is to be done because the patching process takes a long time to complete. A bug forum would have been good to have because the bug threads became too long to read after a while, and, maybe if the bugs were nicely tabulated as they are in that example you posted, someone from CA would check off things as they got fixed.

Maybe this game is too ambitious, and beyond the scope of the investment. It didn't help multiplayer that Activision changed the GameSpy software shortly before RTW was released. You can probably get all the major bugs resolved in a single patch, but I don't see how the gameplay can be brought to the level desired by the older community members in a single patch. You are always going to have something less than you want in this regard with the limited patching policy, and there is no consensus in the community on what that gameplay should be anyway.
