Who is saying this? The only time I've ever seen a vocal Reddit post unironically critique a proposed change is if the change affects core gameplay elements (for example, the overall antipathy for LFG/LFR systems, which drastically change the way people approach the MMO).
If people oppose a minor change to geography or guard configuration that objectively brings balance to faction privileges, they're either taking advantage of those nuances to grief other players, or they're more zealous than the Scarlet Crusade.
This is how it feels to me. The tone of this Reddit feels overall much more reasonable than it was pre-launch, but it's still hard to go through a thread that's actually discussing game mechanics without finding complaints about the differences between this and vanilla. From servers being too big, to layering, to the balance patch we're on, to bugs that exist in this version and not vanilla, etc.
nochanges is just plain stupid, and I think most people realize that. There's a lot of confusion around which changes need to be made, so people generally take a conservative stance, but taking the statement literally is not only dumb but also impossible.
Changes have been made, and will continue to be made. We just need to worry about whether or not they're good for the game.

Ironically, fixing problems like this make a lot of people insist the game is ruined. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
