328MB again?

Guys, the patch is 328 MB so that folks that just installed the game don't have to run though multiple patches to be able to play.

I just reinstalled windows on one of my PCs, when I was installing the patch last night on that computer, I was thanking SE for taking the approach they did.

Again, and I could be wrong, are people in your situation the majority? It could be that a tiny fraction need to fully reinstall all the patches, another small minority lie anywhere in between (in that case they're still worse off because they don't need the whole thing either), and the rest of us are up to date as the new patches come. For most people reinstalling everything is a complete waste.

Agreed. The needs of the many, etc. If you have to redownload patches, you're already looking at several gigs of transfer. A few hundred more won't break you.

With current numbers, there might be 10 people a day that are fully patching. Versus several thousand that are downloading data they don't need.
