Personally, I don't really care that much that you changed the Queens Wrath event so that the legendaries don't break down into ascendants anymore. It doesn't take away all reason to play it, because you're still getting exp and item drops from the enemies.
My main problem with the change, and why I think everyone is so angry about it is that you made the change in the middle of the event. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EVENT.
That's not cool. If you felt like there was a problem with it, you should have left it alone until the next Queens Wrath event. Not everyone has all the time in the world to play, so just the people who do got the extra bonus of extra ascendant shards.
That's my thoughts. That and the Queens Wrath missions should also give you Queens Favor points. It makes no sense that you don't get any Queen points for doing her missions.
