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

someone obviously never played FFXI and never had to sneak/invis harvest.. dieing @ Mt. Zyhlom with no real easy way back.. BOOO HOO! it makes it fun.. figure it out.

I might agree with you if we were able to sneak/invis. From the sounds of it harvesting items became much harder than it was prior.

Chances are next update they may move the grade 5 nodes around in some areas to compensate for the new mob positions.
