Why were you thinking "Oh know, some new content is blocking my path to get to my destination." Didn't you realize ZOMBIES were infecting players and NPC's alike? Hoards of infected roaming the streets looking for more to infect and kill, where before only quiet forced tolerance had prevailed? How could you possibly not be intrigued and excited? And it lasted all of a week, so what did you really lose? Also, what you described as your 'fun' of killing 100 of x monster for some drop to sell, to 'inflate your bank account' sounds more like number crunching at a desk job and watching loading bar. Ask yourself, "Is what I am doing really fun?"
