Mid-Patch Updates

Legacy Cursor Removal Revert

We were a little hasty with the permanent removal of the Legacy Cursor as an option in 9.15. As a result of your feedback, we're keeping it in 9.15 and onward at this time. That being said, we're still planning on removing the option entirely in the future, but enough players have expressed their preference for the gauntlet in light of the news and we want to respect that.
