If anyone is interested, at least the last three pages on the japanese forum also voice dissapointment in the majority.
I only skimmed over it though so you can look here for yourself if you want.

I haven't tried it yet after the changes but I get the dissapointment over it.
They didn't change the positionals because of feedback so I would say keep the feedback going (even though I wonder why you don't post these threads in the dps forum, wouldn't that be better to not get buried by other threads?).
