I've only just reached rank 50 so I've not put that much time in so the game feels a bit fresher to me than those who are at 100+hours but I feel similar (deflated is a great choice of word).
In certain respects I agree with the choice Dice has made because certain aspects of the game need a rework from the ground up but there isn't that much of a game to be playing in the meantime. I still feel trying to get some of the portal maps into the AOW rotation would bring something extra but I've no idea if that's possible.
I won't be playing as much as I don't want to get burnt out on the game.
