Yeh…I kind of see red flags and Pandora boxes here also. I really like addons, they help make the game much more immersive and enjoyable for me. However, I use only (I think) QOL type addons. This change is kind of reminiscent of the whole Pathfinder fiasco. Hope this doesn’t bite Blizzard or us in the backside …
/Thinks to self: “why do they keep trying to fix things that are working !!!”
Right but it’s only combat addon’s like DBM and WA’s that interact with combat to track or react to combat related things.
Every other addon such as auction addon’s, crafting, roleplay, whatever else will not be affected at all. So most QoL addon’s will carry over.
With that said I really thing blizzard is putting the carriage before the horse and I stead should prove they can achieve what they are promising before removing combat addon’s and not the other way around.

Removing certain combat addon functionality would essentially be adding artificial difficulty to the game.
Cities Skyline released on consoles awhile ago and it didn’t need to remove the addons on PC to accommodate for the console versions. (Which is pretty good for the base game so far. You just have to learn to live without TM:PE)
Their more likely removing them to have their own crappy versions.
Okay.
I’ve been a bit exhausted by the cadence of the content coming out, to be honest. Everything that releases turns into a “I’ll get back to this long grind someday” when the new thing comes out, and now I’ve got a huge backlog.
Sorry, I like an easy grind.
I’m not worried about the addons that I do use - mostly for RP stuff. Those should be good. Aside from that? As long as the game telegraphs what to do somehow that I can pick up on in the chaos, I’m good.

Yup its blatantly obvious they are turning the game towards consoles.
Do you have a plan in place to make this happen?
They aren’t removing addons. They talked about maybe someday in the future doing that when they’ve made everything native to the game and adjusted fights. But that’s not gonna be anytime soon.
Byuchnah…great point AND I hope you’re correct about only Combat Addon’s being affected.
You know that scene in simpsons where skinner blames the kids? Well that’s blizzard since literally day 1. “How dare these people make addons that improve upon aspects of our game that we didn’t include, it’s not our content it’s the addons!” Literally every single time.
They could I dunno hire them to develop stuff but naaah, anyway not gonna stop me from playing this horrible reskin/hamster wheel of seasonal trash because I need my wowcrack.
