I agree with the overall sentiment but, credit where credit is due, there has been some progress done in the form of one big quest with multiple paths that took a long time to be done. I think Inno learned her lesson though, as future quests in the same vein are going to be developed sporadically over time rather than trying to get it all done in one go (she didn't want to release a new version until it was ready, thus the delays...).
It's important to note that yes the story has been "halted" and no new content has been added to the Fields - right now what Inno is doing is adding/expanding side-content and NPCs to Dominion/Submission that was left over.
Also, I don't know how familiar you are with programming but it is kind of impossible to fix a game without breaking something somewhere else. Even the most thorough and attentive developer is going to miss a few things, which is why player feedback is important. This game is, mechanically speaking, complex and it is only going to get worse as more stuff is built into it. It's really hard for a single person to deliver a properly stable game under these circumstances.
This would move along faster if people helped out more often (especially fixes) or if Inno hired helped. Unfortunately, not everyone knows or is keen in learning Java to help out and those who do, some want compensation for it. Alternatively, some give a hand for a time and then move on to other things. Inno doesn't want to hire because she doesn't want to manage a team; IMO because reliable people are hard to find nowadays. It's what we have.
