This addon gut isn’t just about hardcore players vs casual players.
People who quest, collect, transmog, craft etc etc. Probably use an addon or weak aura. Those will also be gone, because a vast majority of them access things that blizzard is locking down.
So remember when you sit here and say silly things like the 1% can leave, you need to realize that the 1% is just bringing up issues that you dont even realize will be issues until midnight hits and you are frustrated because tools you used in game to play how you like to play are gone. Simple things like a custom mouse cursor in the game, gone. Little arrow pointing you to the next quest, gone. The list goes on and on. Think about every little thing you have added to the game. waiting for that rare to spawn while you watch youtube on the other screen? Setup a audio notification for it when it spawns? Gone.

Nah its mostly combat stuff blizz said so themselves. 1% dont know whats good for the majority, never have. The changes they like a majority of players didnt.
Casuals are being catered to and its going ti make the game better in the long haul. 1% c an leave others will replace them

By that logic mythic raid and keys shouldn’t exist. They should be removed from the game. Because only the top 1% achieves those things. Food for thought.
This idea that both cant coexist is interesting to me. I dont craft, so should it be removed from the game?

They said it would ONLY be combat stuff.

Anyone ever explain how an add-on existing makes it so they can’t play the game?

Mythic + and raiding arent being removed. Certain addons are.
Game shouldnt require additional addons to do hard content and raids shouldnt be designed with addons in mind.
Its that simple. Wow is the only game with this weird optimization garbage thst involves downloading and upkeep on additional garbage.
It effects the casual players who want to push without this garbage.
Wow if thats the case than i dont see any problems with it at all thanks for the correction.
What you dont understand is alot of those addons and weak auras used combat stuff to make those other quality of life weak auras/addons.
I think this lack of understanding how the game works is why casuals aren’t upset. They dont realize they are going to be heavily affected which I find rather amusing. This is the reason weak aura’s is closing shop. Because most weak auras require some type of access into those things. Even if it has NOTHING to do with actual combat.
It really does not. For pushing like, 20s and Mythic raiding, maybe.
But people were saying I was going to 100% NEED dbm for 10s. Timed 11s with just plater being the only direct combat altering addon.
But then again, people also claim 11s arent ‘hard’ even after using them as a rubric before.
You dont see a problem with them saying ONLY combat stuff, then breaking chat and action bars?
OH I KNOW. Im as upset as you. Friendly fire here.
The 1% Ive watched have been fine with the prunings mostly, and they’re actually in the Alpha. They are generally relieved WA and combat reading add-ons will go away, cuz they are wicked good and will still be wicked good.
Methinks you think the 1% include the semi bad academics who are the top half of the 99%.

Well, it’s definitely going to be different.
Blizz is still working on some things, and it’s still early, some other things may change…
I don’t use addons. I used to but the effort of keeping them updated and the glitches that happened off and on made it a pain. Spending part of my limited play time updating and re-doing addons just didn’t work for me.
“waiting for that rare to spawn while you watch youtube on the other screen”
I can see where this would be a problem for some. Personally I do split screen, or have 2 monitors side by side so not a problem. I realize this isn’t always possible for some players though.
Many of us will just have to adjust to a different way of playing. Some things may be better, some worse. We will have to play a bit differently.
But overall, I think it will work out. Just going to take a bit of learning and work on our end to accept the new stuff, lack of other stuff, and the overall massive change.
I don’t like change, have it every expac though. lol
This change is different, but I think if we apply ourselves, it will be workable.
