If the SS is being stowed away for next week then I know exactly the scheme of this whole operation. They couldn't release the news of the micro transactions to close to the release of the TTK turn a lot of people to purchasing it. So they needed to release them as soon as they felt comfortable. When is the best time to add something into the game that might cause a lot of backlash? The same time they are releasing something that the players are very interested in and distract the masses. If you look at the forums all of the backlash post got covered up by repeats of people explaining the new quest for the SS. The SS is just a tool. A tool to distract you and I as well from move they're about to play. Take some time to think about that.
