I'm actually Glad they are not doing ALC in this patch. These changes are going to be devastating to crafters and ALC is my main. They need to put in a lot of work to ensure Potions, Ethers and Poisons are actually useful. It's not like there recipes were unreasonable. The biggest fix alchemy needs is an XP overhaul. Most things simple enough to grind gave very little XP for most of the grind. And turning Fish to sand is not exactly awesome..
