If you read what I wrote, I actually said to celebrate its entire existence, not just one portion of time.

They basically killed the exp parties in favor of leveling in a way completely devoid of any thought, invalidated all of the years of horizontal progression endgame, and funneled people into groups of "try to hit it with the right abilities and spells" as a replacement for all of those unique and varied events. I don't know how anyone could reasonably say that wasn't drastic.
