Appreciate you taking time to come here, register an account and share your feelings on this, it shows how much you care for the community and the fan experience.
That said, your feedback is being taken, and it will be shared with the team. 
We never want to let our fans down so we hope you will bear with us as we work on improving communication, transparency, and listening skills.
(New hire here, brought on to help with community management, hello! Also an Imperial Edition PC player from beta so I understand the sentiment)
The other CMs and I hope to be able to bring updates about this, please be sure to leave more sentiment, and thoughts on the user surveys which will be going out in in some weeks (unsure on exact date) about the recent changes. This is a survey coming out from the Community team, so a different goal/vibe from a previous survey.
