Oh quote of the year!
Seriously this patch is like they got every bad idea they ever had out of the box all at once. I wont even try to tackle it because its just so bad its comical (And i dont want to get into a slanging match with AO's resident Uberfanboi NT), i'll just say "Oi Funcom! give me back the time i spent turning my De'Valos ring into a Signet or give it some new powers!"
Never, that would require some actual time, effort,thought and money going into the game;probably the only reason the new engine is even coming out is it was halfway developed when they slashed the budget and the team...
