That is a lot of time and money for the feature. Although I would love to see it return, I know that it is no small feat to add said feature in.

i said compare it to the scope of makign an entire game from scratch, its not a big deal, not at all compared to everything else they have had to do.

its a big deal to retro fit them in after the game is made, but we are in the "not set in stone" part, where these types of things should be made, because their exscuse for time or money doesnt fit in when they have no time limit and the work required to do them isnt going to dent soe's budget. ESPECIALLY because the previous game had them, its clear they can do them.
