They did indeed nerf Rezzing enemies.
As far as the current state of AE... I have no clue.
That fix killed CEBR and as a result I stopped paying attention.

The low level farming that you remember is gone. That being said, search for TopDoc in the AE window. There is a mission involving "Roboslicers". Nothing like what you are probably accustomed to in terms of Tickets and XP...but good enough IMO.

Whatever was nerfed with rezzers can be made up for by increasing difficulty level for bigger or higher level spawns.

The low-level brute farming was triple-nerfed.
1- Surviving the initial wave of ambushes was usually accomplished by eating a huge stack of purple and orange inspirations, and enough reds to damage cap yourself, all while at the vendor, and then jumping into the mission while super-buffed. Now, all inspirations are stripped from you when entering an AE mission - you can only have as many inspirations as you can carry.
2- Rezzing custom enemies no longer give XP after the first defeat. Giving custom foes a rez power literally doubles your work with no additional return.
3- Ambushes give reduced rewards. The first ambush in a mission gives regular rewards, the second gives 75% Inf, XP and Tickets, the third gives 75% of 75% or 56%, the fourth gives 75% of 75% of 75% or 48%, and so on.
As a result, if you really want to farn in AE, your best bet is to either take a /Fire brute into a generic fire farm, or whatever brute you prefer into a recreation of one of the classic farms (Council Earth, Freaks, Werewolves,etc). At the moment, I don't know of anything more efficient, and I expect that if anything better does turn up, it'll get labelled an exploit and eventually fixed.
