Profits:
I wouldn't worry too much about the profits. Schine has been hiring new talent periodically for a while now, so they cant be doing that bad.
Roadmap:
While I think an argument can made with this point, I dont think it's as bad as you say it is. Perhaps what they concentrate on could be shifted a bit toward player interaction and what not. The thing is though, the way I've seen this game progress, I have nothing but confidence in the schine team to deliver a truly amazing game, no matter how long it takes.
Servers:
Never ran a sm server myself so cant speak to that.
Fix game:
Realize that the state of the game is such that from time to time there are large influxes of new players coming into the game. Many will play for a short time get bored and leave, while others will fall in love and become part of the dedicated playerbase. We are just coming off of the steam boom now so it may appear that the game is dying when if fact the diehard base is growing. That is what we need at this point in development.
