I am excited and have wished for the removal of add ons for years!!! I don’t use them and I do just fine in raids and mythics. Just work a lil bit harder to avoid stuff.

No, there are plenty of other players who are also afraid of playing the game the way it’s designed to be played.

At least it’s given the community something to fight over again.
So there’s that.

no. I firmly believe that we’re all going to be worse off without addons than we were with.

I think they went far more aggressive than they lead people to believe. And in their war on combat addon’s a lot of things that people typically don’t consider is being impacted as well. I mean why shut down something like Hekili when you have your own combat rotation helper and are expanding the OTR to work with button holding?
If you were really good as you thought you were,
you dont need WA anymore to bypass for you mechanics.
Its not just combat stuff getting axed, UI customization which was stated to remain untouched has very much been touched as well. Plus the OBR does far worse in terms of automation than WA lmao

Yup. You are literally the only one. No one else has made this point at all since the announcement. Congrats on being the first.
No. Also, if blizz is so determined to do this they should take a cautious approach and focus in on only 1 or 2 addons at a time, ensuring their own UI has an actually good, not-buggy solution in game to replace said addon(s).
Cool, doesn’t bother me since I don’t use anything other than the default UI anyway.

Same here, I was so happy when they implemented the UI edit option. Now I never have to redo my stuff every time a patch or update happens.
I think you and I are using very different definitions of the word compromise.
Blizzard is not compromising with anyone. They are nuking addons from orbit.
Secret values for everything completely ends support for nearly all combat addons. That is not a compromise.

Well, actually, if you think that the Blizzard devs haven’t listened and reacted to feedback constantly since 9.1.5, then I think you’re the one who is blind, not me.
But if your idea of “listen to feedback” is go back entirely on their mission statement and design choices for Midnight, that’s just unrealistic. But they’ve kept changing things, communicating. Are they perfect? Absolutely not, but pretending they haven’t made a single change or communicated why they didn’t make a particular change since Dragonflight is just wrong.

dang another unique post. i have not seen another post like this at all since they announced they are killing addons
no. no players are told “Welcome, get these addons if you want to play”. That has to end. no one is learning how to play.
Ur part of small minority ya.
Addons make the game easier to react to.
Blizz doesnt want an arms race with addons so they removed them.
Game is now extremely difficult without them. So they make raids with simplier mechanics and prune classes to compensate.
Players complain the game will be too easy with simple specs.
Players complain game will be unplayable on certain classes without addons.
Best thing blizz can do is tune fights and stand by their decision.
If blizz allows addons everyone back to complaining classes are too easy and fights are too trivial.
If blizz makes classes complex again with addons we are in the same spot where blizz has to struggle to design new raids and keep addons in mind when doing anything.
Theres going to be rifts no matter what. The option they went for is for accessiblity to new players. At least this way itll be more welcoming to new players.
