G12 and Heroic Raid Reward Changes [MEGA]

We all remember a couple months ago when Carrie posted this:

"Let me clarify as clearly as possible the intention of the Sith Raid Reward changes:
At an aggregate level (meaning total for the guild but not necessarily for every individual in it), we wanted to boost the rewards that all members of the guild were acquiring, while addressing some quality of life asks (namely the removal of challenge gear).
The glaring exception that arose from this change was in the Sith Heroic Tier which over the long run is going to be among the most valuable set of rewards in the game."

Now this patch directly contradicts what she (and everyone else) said was needed, improvement for the lower tiers rewards and removal of challenge gear rewards.
