According to the GW2 Wiki page:

Queen’s Gauntlet: Adjusted the rewards given for defeating Subject 7, the veteran ooze.

Why doesn’t the person in charge of the patch notes grow a pair and call a spade a spade and a nerf and nerf instead of trying to sugar-coat things with euphemisms such as “adjusted”.

The word you’re looking for is “reduced”.

Editted, wasn’t having a moan at the Wiki updaters just whichever wordsmith is in charge of beating around the bush with the patch notes.

What a ridiculous thing to nitpick at.

My nitpicking is only a front for my bitterness at the nerf itself.

I would just prefer it that they’d come out and say the rewards had been reduced rather than be shame-faced and ambiguous about it. I am sure they would have no qualms about saying rewards had been increased by rather than reduced by ~60%.

The rewards were reduced to the point you lose money by fighting him. It’s really, really sad.

Isn’t this basically the case with deadeye as well?

The balance team is chained to SPVP, and the PVE team is all about producing carnivals

They nerfed Subject 7 essentially nerfing a warrior farm.
However they didn’t nerf deadeye which is a guardian/mesmer farm.

Its good to have alts.

And even then if they nerf almost all of them, even the 1st guy can be killed with 3-5 gambits by running around him in circles ranging.

It should be obvious to anyone capable of thinking for themselves that this “adjustment” was a nerf. A reduction is still an adjustment, so there’s absolutely no logical reason reason to be upset about their word choice.

Don’t take your bitterness out on the person writing the notes, or even ArenaNet as a whole. Farming this was clearly far more profitable and easy than they intended, but they still added plenty of other lucrative farming methods with this patch.

A reduction is an adjustment. An increase is an adjustment. Replacing silver coins with Honey Nut Cheerios is an adjustment.

“Adjustment” is still ambiguous and sugar-coating.

It’s hardly ambiguous when the people reading the note already know what it means. Every sensible person farming Subject 7 knew it was only a matter of time before the rewards would be reduced in some way. There is no way “adjustment” means anything other than a nerf in that scenario.
