Frankenpatch was always a part of no change from day 1.
The idea that if it doesn’t follow a very specific form of no changes then it’s not no changes is just made up BS from people with an anti-nochange agenda.
You don’t get to dictate what our own stance is to us.
A lot of us have discussed the merits of different versions of Vanilla for things like pre-1.10 threat and 1.5 vs 1.12 AV.
The only rule is that it has to be from Vanilla. After that, a lot of us were willing to discuss it on a case by case basis.
A lot of us did acknowledge that we weren’t getting out of this with a pixel perfect recreation of the game. Especially knowing that they were using the modern client and working backwards from that.
But that didn’t mean I was going to turn around and suddenly argue in favour of things that didn’t need to be there like updated classes, guild banks, etc. My reasons for arguing in favour of it being as authentic as possible don’t stop just because one pixel is out of place.
