This happens in every MMO, with every major update because of how coding works. Idk why people are surprised or even upset about it. Guess you're just not meant to play MMOs.

I understand the necessity for change in an MMO however its become too frequent, too visible and too transparent. When you have this many changes back and forth, back and forth, it gets to this point where it will lead to bad things including calls for accountability due to a perception of poor planning and oversight, whether this is actually true or not. This is a thing in real life as well and a scenario I have tried hard to stay away from because usually the more you do to try and fix it the worse off you are.

Tis something that has to be accepted the moment you start playing an MMO. Constant shift of changes, be that in "good" or a "bad" way ,Depending on how one looks it,really.

To be fair I am not even sure what is more broken this patch than the one before it, relatively to other patches, this patch was really smooth sailing.
