I should point out that while I'm in favor of the massive nerfs, I'm also a bit remiss that a portion of the game is now irrevocably changed. The closest thing I can liken it to is this:
The FFXI exp grind was a miserable one, with a lot of inconvenient locations, a lot of grueling grinding hours and a lot of pushing hard for your levels. Expansions came out and made it easier, but then there came a way to mass-level stuff for minimal effort and it completely removed the block that was the leveling process.
I acknowledge this was a beneficial change for the game as a whole. I understand it was a good thing.
BUT THAT WON'T STOP MY STOCKHOLM SYNDROME. Leveling was a badge of honor, until it wasn't. I'm always going to have a degree of nonsensical nostalgia for how things were when they get changed suddenly.
