Please Roll Back these changes and make them go live with the scheduled maintenance, much like the garrison stuff I read above, which seems to have a decent heads up for preparation. If there is no roll back, please make a system where we can trade in the now useless meat/fish/oil for the equivalent new herb ingredient.
The alchemy changes are too large to suddenly take place in a random hot-fix with barely any heads up and no proper announcement. I read MMO, and by the time I got home from work yesterday, the changes became live in the first 20 minutes I was online. People with a schedule barely got to hear about the proposed/debated changes before it all went live, and were lucky if they got into the game in time to make use of their mats. This wasn't some broken-promise OP-item nerf that was required to preserve the integrity of new mythic raid content difficulty, so I can't see why it was so jarringly and rudely thrown at us when it could have been (and still could be) handled in a more satisfying way for everyone.
