For the officers who run alliances, some dates would be very helpful, Kabam

We realize that many of the current issues take time to resolve, but if you could set some target dates and share those with us, it would really help the officers who run and strategize participation for their alliances. I've always been a proponent of "under promise and over deliver", so I would have no problem with dates that are farther out then what might be necessary.
With these issues, and there are many right now, it is very hard to keep things organized, and others that have either lost faith in the game quality, which is understandable, or aren't comfortable with "no end in sight" are simply leaving. This makes it even more challenging for the alliances to plan anything. We just have to wait and see.
Over the last week, we've been jerked around quite a lot. Start AQ, stop AQ...no wait, you're going to reward us points as if there wasn't an issue, full speed ahead in AQ...wait the rewards are dinky, let's wait. Now the war season is delayed because some devices are too hot to even play which also means that our current participation in both AQ and AW is hampered and often costs all of us resources to combat the app crashing and getting kicked out of fights and those of us without the overheating issues picking up the slack. It's very challenging to try to manage around these issues.
Just today, we had three long time members tell us they are retiring, that there is just too much to try to keep track of on top of their busy lives. I'm with them. I won't be retiring, but I agree that you are asking a lot of your community of players to work through while you work through these technical problems.
The community has asked for more detailed information about these issues, but you've not provided that. The least you could do is give us some target dates so we can plan.

Thanks for responding! I understand the open ended nature of some of these issues and you just don't know when they'll be solved and that they're complicated. But I really think even guesses would make a huge difference.
As a design professional, I work with deadlines. We don't always meet them, and we are often reluctant to create them, but they are targets, and they are so much more helpful than not. Having them helps everyone get on board with a common goal, manages everyone's expectations and opens the door for us as a community to contribute to solutions, even if it's just things we create to bide our time (like you find in the youtube videos, reddit posts, facebook groups, etc.), or allowing us to come up with our own short term ways to tackle the game as an alliance (including retirements and recruiting) while things are being resolved.
I think that you'd find you'd get a lot more community support if we had a sense for how long you think some of these issues will take to resolve.
