I think that if the monsters were too hard for us after a patch, alot of people would complain. Funcom can't have most of us angry because, after all, they are a business trying to keep the majority of it's clients happy. If the OE patch bungles the ability for people to get anywhere, they will discover it on the test server. That's what it's for.
Also, I'm not too worried about how I'm not gonna be able to equip this or that...If you keep up with implants and know how to use them, characters still kick alot of booty, even with self buffs only.
People like "Dark_Omen" are spoiled little brats who are given everything to them in life. I see that Funcom has problems here and there, but with so many players, I can also understand why changes are hard too.
