There were virtually no consequences when they were introduced. They were introduced as something that would have little to no bearing on how well the job performed. A small bonus that could be acquired through normal participation in events people were already doing. Now, they are an event in and of themselves and they make a considerable difference for some jobs. Not only that, but they are an event where a lot of people / jobs have to solo. If what they say now is true, that difference will only get bigger and bigger.

It's fine if you just want to keep them how they are, but it's pretty silly to pretend that you don't know why people are upset.
