They removed a lot of abilities they put in at level 80. Sometimes they have ideas for things that seem great in theory but don't work out in the end. They redid crafting from top to bottom and it's only been in the game for 3 months. They removed 2 abilities, added 2 more, and adjusted difficulty for starred recipes in preparation for the Expert recipes, which will be our new endgame. It is no different than making the normal raids easier because savage exists. That doesn't sound to me like they don't know what they want, or don't have a defined direction for what they're doing. It sounds like they are iterating upon a new concept.
