I'm not sure how "anticipated" it really was. Most of us weren't expecting much, other than wrapping up the details of what would be in the patch.
It did that, what more can they do? People have been saying it for weeks: there's not going to be too much new information they can give us. People's expectations of this patch are beyond unrealistic.
Yeah, it looks like they band aided it in for the patch. If you look, it's under the awards history...probably the only way they could sneak it in given the circumstances.
At least they got it in...I know some people were losing it about this.
