4 minor QOL patches in 10 years with 0 content or major bugfixes is "no trouble sending out patches"?

imagine you're working at blizzard and you've been assigned to maintain code that another studio slopped together a decade prior with no documentation.

You see shit like this
Code
int ba_throw(void){
cout << "mercenary" << endl;
ba<int> left(12);
ba<int> right(12);


with no obvious idea what it does because blizzard north didn't like adding comments to their code. Now imagine there are more than 100,000 lines of this shit with no comments, and your job is to figure out which of the 6,000 lines of code that references resistances has something to do with the anya quest. then you have to, by trial and error, fuck with it over and over for hours until something works because it is not immediately obvious why the resists go away when the player dies.

Now, once you actually fix it you know with absolute certainty that this game is basically virtually ramen and that by fixing one buggy noodle another noodle is going to break. Logically, anything you try to do to this software is pointless because fixing iths created a trade hack, fixing the trade hack created an aura stack method, which when fixed created both a dupe method and another aura stack method. fixing those created hybrid runewords and another dupe method. it goes on and on.

I did the quest both on nigthmare and hell; I received no resist scroll from Malah ?? Yes I had enough inventory space

Malah simply did not give me any scroll; quest said to speak to Anya. Quest completed.

My resists are still the same :( meh

Any help?

Your only option is to rush a char to nm and hell, get the scroll and pass it to your main char
