I would very much like to be wrong

I’ll try to predict how the situation will unfold. As the saying goes clip this

The strange, week-long revert of the Hive Guards - who weren't even the primary cause of the uprising - led me to the conclusion that this game's CMs aren't merely doing nothing; they are actively detrimental. In other words, to justify their own existence, they gather the data upon which the developers rely and they do this so abominably, so haphazardly and selectively, that AH, beyond their own inability to do their jobs, rely on completely random bullshit that reflects absolutely nothing.

Hence Pilestedt’s utterly insane responses - completely detached from any objective reality - and hence the Community Managers’ bizarre decision to ignore the situation, continuing to post as if everything weren't going up in flames

I don't deny that AH themselves are incompetent. Restoring the Hive Guard stats - I’m sorry, but that simply cannot take a week. No way. It’s impossible. You have an old game engine, not a steam locomotive.

So, here it is. A prediction.

A statement will be issued one that you could practically play "AH Bingo" with.

"We need more time," "It's in the plans," and so on. Along with this statement, a patch will be released in which the majority of buffs are overshadowed by nerfs. And some absolutely critical and glaringly obvious aspect of the gameplay will be completely overlooked

This won't be a magnificent rollback or overhaul, since AH doesn't have a single clue why their game is sinking.

Possibly! But only possibly. We might receive some sort of candy - chosen completely at random from a large list. And not even the whole thing, mind you, but just 55% of it - just so it feels like a bonus.
