Posting comments like this helps no one. What you've posted here boils down to 'I don't think you're good mods and I could do it better', with a healthy side dish of 'I see you did those things, but why didn't you do them faster?'. That isn't constructive. Not to mention that when mods get a comment like this, and you should know this if you have indeed modded before, everything is dropped to discuss how best to deal with it in a constructive and thorough manner. When you leave comments like this you're inevitably delaying progress of any of the other number of things you want the mods to get done, because it's all put on the back burner in favor of trying to calm you down.
The main point of the dreamscape event was the dreams themselves, the heavy CR-building possible, and the chance to write some really interesting threads because dream logic allows for a lot of weird shit. The ending was not the focus. It wasn't something the players needed to solve -- and frankly after the last event that the players needed to solve, I understand why the mods didn't make that something we needed to do this time. Probably because of people like you (and me!) who criticized how it was handled. A different ending could have been cool, sure, but the ending we got was inoffensive. Again, it comes off like nitpicking just to nitpick, and I'm not going to back down on that interpretation.
I'm not saying none of the points you raise are good ones. Basic info pages should be first priorities on updates, and timely badge responses would be nice (I've learned to anticipate them over the weekend)*. But when the mods consistently have to deal with criticism for the things they are already trying to do specifically to please you and head off more criticism, it creates a cycle where you're shooting yourself in the foot.
*Also to clarify: As far as I'm aware those pages ARE on a regular update schedule. I'm not agreeing with you that they aren't kept up to date. I don't believe they aren't.
