I really do hate to be negative, but I cannot help but agree with you here Kittenykat.
There are as of now 14 ‘likes’ and counting from the playerbase voicing their opposition to this change. And purely as a comparator, we cut the Fast Travel feature from Siptah based on not even a half of that; a mere 5 ‘likes’. Funcom you have stated repeatedly that the game is in active development, and that you are actively listening to and acting upon player feedback correct…!? Then please listen to it now as opposed to ignoring it. We want to retain Efficient Butchery! Faithful out.
