Patch notes up and no adjustment to Alexandrite acquisition/Hunts

Its 2.41. Settle down. Maybe by 2.45 you have a valid argument, but its only 2.41.

It wouldn't matter if it was 2.4.0.0.0.1, previous content shouldn't be rendered more difficult as progression continues and it is rendered invalid and should be nerfed. This has been something of a disturbing trend on SE's part where previous content, such as the acquisition of i90 gear, gathering Alexandrite, crafting, hunts and the like being made much more difficult because it wasn't properly adjusted to compensate for new content. It's basic game design. The effort should be commensurate to the reward. The reward, in this case the Novus, has been rendered less valuable now that weapons of similar stats have been put in and are attainable with much less effort, and the effort to get this slightly-less-worth-it reward has increased.

Very accurate. Hopefully this thread will get noticed before 2.45. Or if not this thread then at least this topic.
