Vases and other breakables, I agree with, but I think the better solution is just not having them drop items, rather than messing with MF on them.

It was a quick fix to prevent those who were abusing, for lack of better word, the pony runs by paying to get into a cleared one with nothing but just the clouds, presents and possibly pinata left. They didn't defeat any of the monsters (and likely couldn't) nor were they even there to make it harder.
So essentially 1 person could clear a run (in 1 person difficulty) but 4 players would reap the rewards.
As I mostly farmed Whimsyshire (actually doing the runs with friends..although using the hole a lot of the time) it's kind of ####ty for me but I completely understand where Blizzard was coming from, even if it's far from a perfect solution.
Same with the vases as you had guys running to them in Act 4, unable to actually kill any of the monsters, but quickly smashing and grabbing the vases and getting high level gear occasionally.

I understand, but Blizzard and many other players do. There's really 2 ways to look at a patch like this, how it affected you and how it affected the game. I think this patch affected the game very positvely, lots of room for improvements, but melee classes have their strengths now while range classes that can actually look at taking a hit or two in Inferno become a real option...maybe not easily but at least a little bit more viable then a week ago. More options make a better lasting game in my opinion.
