You didn't lose any "progress". You still have the exact same amount of status that you had 1 second before the patch went live. The curve was adjusted, nothing more. You lost exactly nothing. Not one single point of status. Technically, you GAINED status, considering you may well have been de-leveled. It's too bad you have such anger towards this, considering it will be easier for you to level your guild than it was for us to level ours. When this went live, we went from level 71 to 74, because our "progress" had already taken us through those nasty hell-levels, which are now gone.
And no, I don't feel your pain. Status items give such pitifully small bumps to guild status that it's utterly laughable that you would be so angered by their loss. You get status for just doing dungeons and killing the boss now. We haven't actually tried to level our guild aside from quickly getting to level 30 for our guildhall, and we've gone from 1-75 in 4.5 months, of not actively trying.
Just play the game. All the whining and bellyaching serves no purpose, and will continue to be unproductive. In all the time that's been spending whining and moaning, guilds could have already been right back to where they were just by running instances and doing writs, if that's your thing.
So what's your excuse for not understanding the issue here? You didn't lose anything. You lost no guild levels. You lost no status. Nothing.
Go play the game and level your guild, f that's the only thing you want to do.
You still fail to understand the difference between progress towards the "next" goal and XP overall. I estimate that with Raids, Dungeon runs and status items ( which by he way gave me about 25% laughable XP towards the next level) it will take me about 40 hours of pure grinding to come to my break even point, when this change will actually have a positive effect for me. You can break his down further to how many hours someone plays per week, how many hours are spend in raid and groups and what is left for the grind for he guild. In an ideal situation this would equate to maybe 3 months, most likely probably 6 months of seeing and feeling the benefits of this change.
And so sorry that there is a tad of emotion involved even though I do think that you might be slightly exaggerating on those. To let you know "anger" and "pain" were purely intended as figures of speech, or am I OBLIVIOUS to my own issues here?
