This is what an intelligent player who isn't a fanboy thinks this patch will be:

1.17
60% of this entire patch IS the egg hunt.
10% of this first patch is more UI tweaking and bugfix

1.17a (AKA planning to prepare to update for content that they don't have yet)
10% something that can be remotely skewed to affect 8 man raid teams, like SP gain adjustment and crowd control tweaks. Or hahahaha maybe some big ol' nerfing action.
20% UI tweaking and bugfixes


If you think this patch will overshadow the holiday event, you were born yesterday.
