It's not a bit too harsh. It's totally unbalanced and almost impossible to level up. To raise Animal lore it takes 10x the time you need to level up any other skill in the game.
You should also consider that who didn't abuse it in the few days before the patch is now totally stuck and can't progress as group.
I think you are really misunderstimating the damage done by this patch and the consequent reactions. Many groups that could accept to deal with lag and first days issues are not accepting to play with the current Animal lore skill system.
From your answers i feel like you know the issues, but don't consider it a true priority. Meanwhile dozens, if not hundreds, hunters stopped to play the game, waiting for a fix. My group and allies, for istance, played with lag, and even if you had to wait 2 hours to log in the game world because of server dispatc issues, but right now everybody is just not playing the game. Fixing Animal Lore should be your priority 1 issue to fix.
