Well the 2nd patch was planned to be out in late feb/march, with the expansion announcement coming after that. But the patch delay messed that up, and if they are going to build up the expansion they needed to keep on schedule with the announcement for it.

What? You expect them to delay the annoucement just for that? I'm surprised that some people still hold this thought.

And there will be hundreds of thousands out there who will. The amount of people who visit forums, and find out about the bugs is a small minority.
You mean a vocal minority.

Eitherway, barring delays, the patch should be able to come out before the expansion.
