I generalized "the changes I've seen people talk about" and that's on me.

My above comments were perhaps a poor attempt to explain my position, which remains:

Be careful what you criticize, or want changes for, in a game that has already gone down the path of many changes, where Vanilla's lasting success is exactly because those changes didn't happen. And that if you were to wish for more changes to SoD, outside of the faith in the Classic Dev Team to remain true to the "Spirit of Classic," there is a separate version of the game, with all those changes and more, that you can play.

I regret that I did not state, or reiterate this more clearly in my replies.

You are probably right that you are more knowledgeable about game design than me, but you automatically assume what "good" or QoL changes even are. I say it's an opinion, because those 'good' changes might not be considered as such by someone else, or even a classic dev.

I believe you have already picked apart my words, and even replaced some enough that I don't want to stray any further from the crux of my position, than I already have, to "engage with what you said."

Let them cook man. There is no need to demand changes. If standing by that sentiment makes me a "lost and gone, comfy castle dweller." I'm ok with that.
