I don't have enough thumbs to point down

Terrible patch. One of the worst gaming experiences Ive ever had. Go see Kulemak? Die to nothing. No tinks. Any random abyss? Die to nothing. No tinks. Run maps all day? No tink for literally days. Go Jade? Die. Run logbooks? No tinks. Xesht runs? No tinks. Run rituals until I can't stand the shit anymore? One whittle nothing else. Step into maps with 10k meditate ES and 50% EV with deflect capped res and CI and dealing gajillions of damage? Die to any random abyss. No tinks. You guys ruined this game. Stop wasting time trying to nerf the top end players, it will never work just like bots RMT and cheaters. All you're doing is ruining the game for players like me the high enders will find their ways no matter what adorable strategies you try. You only ever hurt the low end players with this half cocked poorly thought crap, never the high enders you target. You always miss them and hit us every time.

sounds like a skill issue

Not a single one of the things you mentioned were made any more difficult or less rewarding by this patch, especially not for low-end players.
