It's not that they don't respect players. No one realises how much effort it takes to reinvent the whole battle system in a few months. If anything it just goes to show that players have zero respect for the devs. They're working their asses off for such a massive change and it's only expected that they run into unexpected errors and problems that take a while to fix. If anyone did programming for a living you'd know you just cant make lengthy code without at least 1 error coming up every now and then.

As someone else suggested, just go do something with your time and the patch will be here in a flash. I'd much rather have the patch delayed than released on time with a crap ton of system errors.
