This is very simple stuff, so I’m not sure where you’re failing to understand.
Making changes to WoW Classic doesn’t make it a new MMO. I’m saying BECAUSE it’s not a new MMO, we shouldn’t make changes to it.
The two that are mutually exclusive are changes and faithful recreation. It, by definition, cannot be a faithful recreation if you are changing it.
You are wrongfully concluding that changes makes it a new MMO, which isn’t what I said at all.
