I’m just trying to see if anyone has gotten a response/answer from Blizzard. I never wanted to argue.
Again, glad you answered the /sit question. Bravo. Should I just start sending you a compiled list of known bugs/exploits of 1.12 and let you give me the run down on them? Since you love to trail mix an argument, and not answer it as a whole?
Sure, send me a list of exploits/bugs. Sadly I don’t pretend to know everything and I won’t be much help with 99% of them. Also, just because the /sit “bug” or “exploit” has been in the game 14 years doesn’t mean it will be in Classic.
To answer your question as “a whole.” No one but Blizzard knows, try Google and if you don’t get an answer wait until Classic or make a ticket to speak to a GM.
People got banned all the time for using exploits.
Pretty sure we know which of these are exploits based off of that for starters.
Although I admit, #2 is the worst one.
Shaman is the only one that could never be intended or most likely not.
Mind control for buffs is probably intended, there have been dungeons/raids where mc for buffs or learning how to make elementium bars I think they are were necessary.
Sit had to be an attended use that I never new existed, but that would fall in clever use for pally procs.
Buffing people to limit most likely clever use, it is nothing like killing same faction because neutral totems or so.
I don’t think it’s a contradiction. The patch note seems like it was referring to something like a generic on-hit proc, not the specific case of the auto-crit.
Except I’m citing video evidence and official patch notes of the game in that era. Anybody from the original dev team that coded combat mechanics working on this recreation? No? Ok.
/sit is NOT the same as mashing your X button to both sit and then stand:
Normally if you’re sitting down you would not get Reckoning charges from auto-attacks. However, you could gain charges from random NPCs by constantly sitting and standing up due to server lag: mob would try to attack you as your were sitting, so it’d be a forced crit. However, if you stood up just as you were getting hit, the server would see you as if you were standing and get a Reckoning charge.

TLDR - Exploit or not mashing X to gain charges was in vanilla and it was due to spell batching:
