Some of the elite abilities are being reworked - the most popular is being nerfed and the least... Still aren't useful to players in a dungeon team. There aren't any UI changes to the hotbar.
Reminds me of when we lost people while I was playing MUDs back in the day - we lost a GM to suicide and to this day a monument to him still stands in the game (over 10 years later).
The best part of playing a MMO is the company you keep.
