As you know i fought against this change for this reason.
As said many times, MMO games are about progress. Certainly, that is what we should do here.
Now, let's see what happened.
The drops of everything (except artitifact cloaks), have been farmed so much that everything in this game (except maybe 4 items), is relatively worthless. If it is not worthless, it will be soon. Hence, our chances of making AD/Hr has been crippeled severely.
Because of this and because of (eventually) Linu's favor, it will be relatively easy to have 4 items of artifact gear come 2015. It has been also relatively easy to get BIS armor for a long time (since for most of this is a t2 set). Shirt, pants, also relatively easy. Rings are flexible, but since ELOL and nSOT are not that hard also relatively easy.
SO come 2015, active player bases will have almost all BIS gear, assuming you are active and make groups, etc..
In addition, if you have alts, all the reasonably old players will have sigils for artifact slots.
So let's assume we now have 7 things to refine. Not only do we have no GEAR to upgrade, we now would have 4 artifact gear, 3 artifacts, and (up to) 24 enchantments to refine.
Therefore very soon, the only thing anyone will need is RP!
Since this BtA change, the amount of RP in the market is finite, and will dry up soon, especially with a double RP weekend coming up.
Now with the dragonhoard and fey blessing nerf, it will be near impossible for anyone to legitmately rank up their enchantments!
Since you can't BUY RP on the AH the options are thus.
1) Buy the sapphires in the bazaar
2) Transform your AD into zen and buy blood rubies
3) Pay money to buy RP.
Now, i know we might think some people will sell RP on AH - but remember everyone needs RP now, and since that's all you need you can't do much with your AD anyway, so the limited unbound RP will be very expensive.
So eventually it will be "you want to advance your character? upgrade one item" It's pony up or quit time, and considering the cost of rubies and/or sapphires, that is a big pony.
Sad, but thay kill us.
No more legend !! Now i try up slowly a blue to purple - in spped as now (4x2% hoard) this will be a 2-3weeks to made purple
Worst think what we have now no one can imagine.
I supose my living this game is comming soon. I dont want spent eternity to make purples gear, becuse i know i never made legendary with this sytem RP.

if you cant bring the thing to legendary, the crafted cloak/ring/belt are 2x times better
