I feel that with MDI and WFR, it will sort itself out when Blizzard designs fights that don’t require addons. However, this could also have a negative effect, as people want WFR and MDI because of how difficult the fights are and how the tropes best showcase WoW players playing their game perfectly. Yes addons help but let’s be real even if anyone of us with the same addons these world top wow players use anc with custom Weak Aura we would still be crap so don’t agure addons did the all the work for them. The fights would be pretty boring for the average human to keep track of, wouldn’t the fights be back to classic, BC days ,where there are little mechanics?
AWC appears to be a bigger issue here, as there is no way for Blizzard to police players who use outside help to gain an advantage. Maybe teams with resources will have a mod real time looking at the other team’s CD usage and calculate exactly when the CD is off or when the other team can heave CD back. I might not be s accurate as an addon, but is still an advantage. Or team with financial resources will even have all the players play in the location (much like Limit and Echo and Method WFR), and a mod has all the players monitor hook up to his and he can see everything and CD from the other teams, etc. Woulnd’t this turn AWC more into WFR, where the winners are always going to 1 or 2 teams who have the money to support, while other teams don’t are left in the dust? Woudln’t blizzard need to move all AWC to a location where they have their own employee to monitior the event to make it is sure fair for everyone?
