Why does this patch feel rushed like when the game was released?

And theres no excuse for screwing up gathering leves. Thats just really poor planning. not a gamestyle change or anything like that.

Please explain this bit to me, I have not done any gathering leves yet but I'm used to avoiding agressive mobs in my levs. Iron lake has always had Kabolds for it's leve area for Botany at least.
