It feels like this was abused to fix the STILL broken purity system

Where is the fun gone? Is each patch day now about trying to balance the end game making it worse for everybody else not participating in the end game stuff or just playing for FUN?
I mean how the hell should you now get any meaningful numbers into your char not living in a big city having a complex purity system? Im not talking about being 500+ char. Im talking about surviving and enhance your char. How you ever want to make a meaningful agriculture life as hermit?
I was really playing this game a lot (for my circumstances) before we got the "as above so below" patch. And it was fun. You could progress pretty good when playing some hours a day. Raising biles was manage able and, what I like most, it was a real effort to specify yourself in a certain thing. So a fully developed char for profs was a valuable thing. Now? ... It's a joke.
Maybe I am wrong but I read nobody complaining about profs... why did you change it?
The old patch days were every time something really joyful for me. Waking up, reading the notes and find something funny like a churches, a canoo, pistols, tree planting... this was fun! Something new to try, something which you could explore.
Since "as above so below" I check my account once a day for some minutes. I ask myself "hm shall I go into all that purity/alch stuff.. any other news? na...logoff". I dont feel any motivation playing this game at the moment... The purity system is way to complicated and the new game additions are not fun.
Dont get me wrong - I am not saying that it shouldn't be a hell of an effort to get into the end game (in terms of time) - but I am saying it should be manageable without spending most of the time to transfer some funny coloured % into the right direction.
Cancel purity, find something which works.
My 2 cents...
