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

I'm assuming SP is messed up since you were supposed to solo with leves and thats not really possible at the moment.

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

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

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

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

While I fully understand the difficulties of implementing a new system there is no real excuse for sticking a bunch of high agro mobs right where a gathering leve is supposed to be done. All that shows is that they didn't consider that when creating the patch which essentially means it is rushed. I realize people will say "give them time, 1.19 is the fix-it-all patch" but honestly, its been almost a year. The quality of patches is continuously disappointing. So please in the future, just postpone release for a month and fix things. the little things DO matter and do effect how people perceive the game.

First, there's a nice SP bonus at the end of levequests now, so it is easier to level solo than it was.

Second, Is this a high ranking gathering leve, and is this one or many? If its high ranking, I'm not surprised that there's 40+ aggro mobs out there. Things tend to get more challenging as they get higher in rank. The placement might not be seen as a mistake at all.

Hate has changed, it is not as messed up as it was before. People just need to have enough common sense to go out and experiment with the abilities available. There's just a little bit of a learning curve involved. I feel that although it has improved, its going to need tweaking along with a lot of other things. It will probably never reach everyone's idea of perfect though, since its impossible to please everyone.

No comment on disconnecting or freezing, as I haven't had any issues with the game doing that.

In all of the years I've been playing mmos, I've never seen one come out with a major patch and not have to do some hot fixes later. Its like when you write a paper and don't notice any typos, but someone who has never seen the paper comes up behind you and sees it right away. A lot of things aren't going to be noticed by those working on the patches, and only brought to their attention once its live.
While its good to point out these mistakes to SE so they can get around to fixing them, its a bit shortsighted to expect perfection as soon as a major patch comes out.

-edit-
Sorry, forgot about the mp comment. Yes, I was running out of mp faster when I first started casting healing spells after the patch. Seemed unbalanced until I adjusted my casting to not spam the same obscene amount of cure spells as I was. Now I'm not having too many issues with it. If you are, try for the time being resting for a bit between mob pulls. Mana regen might take a bit, but a least we have one now. :3
