Since I started a little bit later in the classic era, I had no idea what you were talking about, but then I saw this and remembered it from watching my friend play (although I don't remember him ever using it as a "rearview mirror"):

SHIFT+T is obviously way better, but seeing it as unclassic replacement for a classic feature makes way more sense than seeing it as Nilbog choosing unclassic easy mode.

If you pressed the inventory button on the top right the worn item slots would disappear giving decent forward view while keeping the rearview mirror open. Very nice.

Honestly this is no longer a valid response to simple changes that don't effect gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I am ALL FOR patching out clearly unintended mechanics that are exploited by the userbase to provide an undeserved advantage. But since they're openly stating they're now making changes to preserve the "spirit" of classic (I know this is not the first "unclassic" implementation-- just the first time I saw one in the patchnotes that didn't have a real reason behind it) and not just implementing what *is* classic? "shit's classic"/ "not classic" means nothing.
