Fine, Bloodwhetting is too OP

In fairness, if you wanted insight into the playerbase's distaste around watching a WAR player solo a boss in current content while everyone else watches, WL provides an excellent case study of this. I think even the people who managed to find something likeable about her character cringed at that moment.

The biggest risk impact will be on new players, because they're the ones most likely to die and be forced to sit around while a WAR solos fights in casual content over a course of 20 minutes. If SE wants to keep that cohort of players, the answer is pretty obvious. They might as well forget about their 'Hall of the Intermediate' and reworks of old content. You aren't keeping those players.

The good thing is that these Hall of the Novice upgrades are an extra learning tool. There will now be no excuse for not knowing how to do stack/spread mechanics. Looks like it will even teach what a tankbuster is. The big downside is that Hall of the Novice is not mandatory for character progression, and the 30% xp accessory only helps below level 30, so there's no real incentive for players to do it.
