The RSI hack will be available once CR2 goes out. We're in the process of figuring out how to make it available, but hard to get... just making it expensive isn't going to cut it, since what is affordable to a level 50 is out of reach of a...

They should be done in a couple more days, then the next patch after that... they should be in there before the end of the week, I think, unless anything else gets in the way *cross fingers*

Make no mistake, we really do appreciate hearing about these issues. It's definitely a priority for us to keep the soloability in the game. We'll be tweaking the NPCs back down from where they are, until we get PvE to about where it was be...
