Im probably going to catch flak for it…
Do we need damage meters and the ability to upload Warcraft Logs on Forever?
Whats the appeal to it outside of trying to go full sweat?

Theres an in game damage meter you can turn on already.
Also you dont have to sweat. If I want to why do you care?

And they could just turn that off.. it was put in so people wouldnt have to go to a third party option.
Is it required outside of sweating is the question?
Dont use them if you dont want. No one is forcing you.

We used addons in vanilla, part of the appeal of wow was the addons.

sadly, people will judge other people based on it.
If you need damage meters to know how well you are doing, it doesnt really add anything outside of retail brain.
Taking it away would put everyone on an even playing field.. Its not like the hunter with low dps is going to stop you getting the kill.. its just going to encourage you to be salty and kick them.
Try to justify it all you want. And yes playing with them off is an option, but removing that option would make the community less toxic, because you cant just go blaming people about problems that are usually internal

Why? I want the damage meter. You dont have to toggle it on. Just dont use it.

good thing this isnt vanilla, right?
It doesnt matter the version. We’re never gonna stop logging. Just dont do it if you dont like it. Casual guilds are always a thing.

It’s based on what appealed to us playing in vanilla.
But, if you’re going to be representing the general community with the toxicity you’re bringing in this thread with your sweats comments and your garbage response to me, then yuck.

They should just keep updating the ui and features to make addons feel less necessary. They’ve already made some good headway here. They probably should obliterate weakauras though - as much as people will seethe about it

thats the problem right there.. you want your damage meter, you want to be told you are doing the correct thing, instead of doing teh correct thing.. You dont learn from damage meters, you dont get better, you just do damage and see a bar go up..
the negatives vastly out weigh the positives.
While you find your bar going in one direction a good thing, and you may never do it, there is a million people htat will judge and attack people for their bar not being as big as another persons bar.. Claiming “carried”.. and stuff along those lines..
Removing that toxicity from the game entirely would only encourage people to do more content.. would it not?
Dont just go full zug zug on this, actually think about it for a second.. Do you need it to survive?
And if the answer is no, Why should it be there if it only causes problems?

Blizzard have literally referred to this explicitly as “classic plus” numerous times by this point. It’s classic wow with extra content, not a completely different game.
thats great champ, dont care.. you seem to not understand the conversation.
I dont need to be told. I know im doing the correct thing. I just like to see my name on top. Youre just asking for something to be taken away from everyone because you personally dont like it.
You’re a casual player and thats fine. Its clear you just dont like sweaty speed runners. Its that or you want to force us to carry you without knowing were carrying you.
Newsflash: meters are banned in ffxiv and they still use them via 3rd party sites.

I would prefer they would, but we’ll see.

So.. here is the big question you gotta ask yourself..
Its the updated engine, its the updated models..
there is new skills to make it not an auto attack simulator..
How long until DBM creates something for a random encounter in a random raid that is going to bring the topic of Addons back to the front of the section?
If they didnt address it now, and it happened 8 months in.. DBM would have to alter to fix the problem.
We see it in retail as recent as today, they banned another addon from influcing the mini map for raid encounters. Addons in classic could do that and ruin the “encounters”..
I think you are pretending that the Raid scene is going to be exactly like Classic Molten Core, its not.
at its core, weakauras is really just a UI for mini-addon development
as long as addons are possible, there will be some form of weakauras or something like it.

you are just proving my point.. you are going full zug zug on it and not using critical thinking to engage with the topic.
this post isnt for you.
