This is far deeper than that. This patch nerfed a couple things that people spent at LOT of time (and in some cases, real money) acquiring. IAS and MF.
I had worked through most of the "Act 2 wall" and was almost beating Belial. With the nerf, I am back to Act 1 farming. Lost about 16% of my DPS, and the slowness now leaves me quite vulnerable compared to before.
The MF thing though, where they decided that MF no longer applies to treasure chests (and Whimpyshire clouds) is absolutely freakin' ######ed. You go through one of the caves, kill everything and in the end you get to the yellow respendent chest that usually has something relatively decent (more often than not) that you can at least sell if you don't need it. Now, I get only some crappy blues. I must have hit over 150 chests tonight, 40 or so resplendents, and I got 2 rares. That's it.... TWO. Five stack NV and all.
But hey, MF still works on dead villagers, oddly enough. I got my very first set item today from a dead villager. Yup, treasure chests shouldn't have real treasure in them apparently... but that local guy laying on the ground probably will. Dumbasses.
Those two things alone are enough to rank this patch as clearly substandard. But they also broke simple things, like in the AH, where you select your filter (like "Intelligence"). It was simple before. Alphabetical. Now? Some lame grouped list that takes longer to find the attribute you are looking for. Just insane to me.
Don't even get me started on what they didn't fix.
But those are just in THIS patch. The game itself as mrdonkey so aptly discussed, is just a disgrace to the Diablo gaming history.

You realize with the change, at 5 stacks of NV, you faced probably 5 elite or champ mobs on the way to that respldent chest yielding you probably 10 rares, ill take that over just getting loot from the chest, the amount of rares that drop has been upped by a large margin, not to mention the ilvl of said rares
