This is indeed a great patch that brings back a tiny bit of optimism for me. (Though, to be clear, I was never among the "feedback is useless" crowd.)
However, I'll wait with more optimism until they prove they're willing to make more "bold" and serious changes the game imo is in dire need of. Of course, I'm not expecting ten reworks this instant, bigger features and deeper systemic changes obviously take a lot of time (and/or consideration).
Btw, I just remembered something - I expected this patch to bring the much-requested all-party conversations, Swen said it was supposed to be included at EA release iirc. I wonder if they have some major problems with it? Or just not a priority?
