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

[YUGON]

Gathering leves are messed up because they send you to spots packed full of 40+ agro mobs

No true answer about that : /

Hate is messed up and people are having problems taking down the major NMs

Me and my LS were tanking Lv. 75 mobs with no problem on hate. Maybe your GLA do not rly know how to take Hate. (Hint: Is not the same that in FFXI)

there are still issues with the game freezing or disconnecting and you get booted from a raid if you do.

I never got kicked yet : /

mp seems unbalanced (this is understandable since they said they would balance out the game)

Unbalanced?? I think you need more MP managing experience, but Is not Unbalanced. Maybe Curagas but not at all... If Tank has the hate, you do not rly need Curaga, nor If you are Soloing...
