I think my problem with changes like these (including various other "nerfs" to "old" content) is that they seem to target no one, for seemingly no reason. Who actually wanted these changes, ever?

If you're already past these parts of the game then you already have these things done and it doesn't affect you at all, like most of us here.

If you're new to the areas and haven't mapped them yet, then why would you need that part to be any easier or faster than it already is? This content is still new to new players, obviously.

Who does this benefit!
