The guards close to Landro Longshot have been changed ([ src ])
The changes to guard spawns have been made. As I said before you will still have to deal with the guards but it should be easier now. I've found that if you stand behind Landro it should be possible to speak with him without too much difficulty. Being a Bloodsail Buccaneer is not meant to be easy. Dealing with the Booty Bay guards is the price you pay for the second coolest hat in the game (mine being the coolest).
The new badge rewards (for Fury of the Sunwell) were designed to fit in with the theme of the Blood Elves just as the Zul'Aman gear fits in with the theme of Zul'Aman. For some people, that is what makes it so appealing to them. To others, it's just not their cup of tea.
