I doubt we'll see changes. There was a huge outcry about housing and in the end those who wanted it put their heads down as a group and got on with it. I suspect this will be the same.

This patch seems to be about slowing players down a lot. Crafters, gatherers and those working on relics have all been slowed down. You can no longer spam quests and fights to complete a relic for every class or be effective in every craft.

I have mixed feelings about it. The crafting stuff has really got me down, the relic weapon quest bothers me less. I do agree though that it should be slightly less random on the drop rate for atma or that your chance of getting the atma rises per kill. /shrug, they had to slow us down at some point.
