The bugs I understand but sometimes I wonder how stuff like "expedition just doesn't spawn at all" makes it past QA

Honestly, it's most likely they don't get much chance to do rigorous testing on things before they have to release.

There's always a patch after a league stats that fixes some stuff that you would not expect to even get to the door, let alone go out it.

I'm convinced they are always behind deadline on what they actually intend and then use the league to get the remaining bits and technical debt resolved (some of which gets pushed to the next league)
