Then I think it's finally time to re-name Las Vegas into Las Wegas. Let us show some consideration.

No, I can't say I consider this version fun.
I believe simply blaming Aeterna and their blood decisions would be too easy though.

This version started with a huge akill wave. Some fams got seriously crippled by that even before they went up by losing most of their top rankers (which was fair and everything, but obviously had influence on the rest of the version).

As for the spot distribution, you had a family with a lot of very active players holding the best spots in Detroit. Allowing a family that's as eager to shoot as Faffie to hold those objects is basically an invitation for them to shoot everything that moves without running out of bullets.

Add to that the fact that for the first time in quite a few versions, the opening war wasn't Gravano/Faffie/Anarchy & co. vs. Vaffan/Blackrose/Theogony/Aeterna (yeah, I know, not the same fams, but you get my point.)
This meant the game didn't lose all those strong accounts early on, and it seems the rest of the fams had a hard time handling that (it's much easier to clean the winning side afterwards when they're decimated). I don't think you can blame those fams for wanting to avoid the same opening war for a change. The other fams will just have to learn to live with those changes.

Aeternas blooding, well, it might have been a bit over the top. If you look at the numbers objectively, you'll see they've had around 30-35% of highranks on their side (that's their numbers and direct bloods, and you can probably add another 10% for fams that usually shoot with those bloods and/or their as1's - i.e. Gambino moving with Faffie/Anarchy a lot). Then again, they saw a huge threat in DIG/Prov+ forming an alliance against them, and seeing as Gravano/Impact/Kurosawa joined the first chance they got as well, I believe we've seen worse blood decisions considering their situation (anyone remember Marazzinos blood list?).

So yeah, various reasons this version went the way it did. I believe however that it was a neccessary change to the usual "this-side-vs-that-side"-versions we've seen for a long time, and it might have some positive effects in the long-run. Let's see what those other fams can make out of this new situation.
