You have got to be kidding me. Why even bother striving to get better at this raid with no incentive for personal gain. That is why players play in the first place. Now there is no reason for advancement. This is only beneficial to the elite whales who can benefit from being the top 1%

+1 I feel like the update finally did 2 things 1) made lower tiers worth the effort of spending the better part of a week on them 2)started enlightening heroic guilds as to the deep, deep balance flaws of the new raid that the majority of the player base has been complaining about that make it not worth running when you don't get gear worth 5k-10k in crystals each run.

I didnt honestly have a great deal of sympathy for heroic guilds since really all that happened was their rewards being brought in line with what non heroic guilds were already getting relative to their effort. I think it says a lot about how poorly designed the raid is that the consensus among the elite guilds is that when they aren't getting a 100% drop on a full g12 gear each raid the time investment isn't worth it.

I also gotta hand it to the devs, it's a special talent to release updates that result in 100% of the community to hate the newest content.

I'm in a non heroic guild and my guild's reward payout was pathetic after the update. I'm glad they rolled it back.

You may think that the reward payout was bad, but that is only true if you do not count the value of Guild and Event currency. Even at tier 4, every kill rewarded approximately 1000 crystals more of value in these currencies that is simply gone now, as well as higher tier rewards (albeit fewer than we will currently get).
In total, all tiers below Heroic get reduced rewards now, but a few people may not have done the math or be captured in their own perception. Make no mistake, this rollback is terrible for lower tier guilds.
